Teapot is the least photogenic animal ever but I'll try and get some photos of her for you :lol:
I'm not much of a hamster person I must admit, I only took her on because I felt I had to gerbils are my favourites

Of course I remember the name Teapot now but I may have missed you losing him as I was still in Oz.

possibly yes, he had 2 seizures close together and didn't recover sadly
Very sad. Sorry you lost him.

thanks BYB
I think I've just had bad experiences with hamsters, the 2 I have owned have been right little monsters :lol: I haven't seen much of their personality (Pudding hated everyone, always did and Teapot just isn't sure I think there may be some issues psychologically) where as gerbils are funny and curious, constantly looking for adventure and attention and I find them cuter looking than hamsters too:lol: I'm a massive rat fan and gerbils are more rat like than hamsters so that might be where the fascination started
If I had had 2 people hating gerbils and 2 people loving hamsters I'd probably prefer hamsters over gerbils! :wave:

I also love the way they burrow, its amazing!
This is what bothers me with hamsters, our one is lovely, he has never bitten anyone and he seems to really like us but when he ends up going to hamster heaven I am really concerned about the temperament of a different hamster, maybe I can just clone Hugo, we him. I never thought I would love a hamster.
I once looked after my friends mice and they really really smelled awful, do gerbils smell?
If you love rats how come you don't have one?
Glad you like your new chair :thumb: xx

I've been bitten quite a lot by hamsters you see, but never a gerbil I think it's very situational in my case
If I could clone Gerb then I would have No not really, they're desert animals so don't pee much and they need deep bedding to dig in. I used to clean out his tank every 2 months or more and rarely found wet patches like I do with Teapot the hamster mum is terrified of rats! Gerbils/degus are alright as their tails are furry but mice and rats are completely out of the option until I leave home, apparently I've been obsessed with them since I was about 6 and I was a bridesmaid for a lady who owned some thanks, its fab! x

aw, I had a couple of PEW gerbils. Whitey and cracker I also had a pair of black ones when I was younger.
They're such incredible little animals, perfect pets as they're so people friendly and low maintenence, but I couldn't have them again. It feels like no matter how much space you give them they spend all their time trying to escape :roll:

aww! yeah that is a problem, next time I have some I want to set up a RUB and tube system that goes all the way around my room to give them loads of space, but they'll still try and escape I'm sure :lol:
I do wish they lived longer, they're such characters
