Gerbil Thing

Collar

mood: cold cold
This was a tough one, especially since my first thought was dog collar but I was beaten to the punch. So...

This is my recently deceased gerbil Thing 1 back when he was a baby. He and his identical-except-for-being-a-girl sister Thing 2 (who's still alive and kicking) had/have a pretty white shawl collar as part of their markings. (OK, it's a stretch, but...)

That is a great choice, and so cute! :o) I'm sorry he has already gone.

Thank you. They look so funny as babies. All giant feet and head. And thanks for the sympathy. I love my little rodent pets, but it's heartbreaking how short their lives are.

That's a great choice, and I love the names. We had hamsters when I was a child who were Hamlet 1 and Hamlet 2.

Cute! My childhood hamsters were mainly a series of Samsons, called Sam most of the time. I'm hammie-less now, but most recently I had Poppy, R2 and Princess Pushinka, aka Puff.

Awww, thank you. He really was quite handsome as he grew up. I miss him. :-(

Gerbils are adorable anyway, but baby gerbils are especially so.

I think it is a perfect response - he does look like he is wearing a big white lace collar.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so. I think this marking pattern is particularly pretty.

He was a cutie, but I find gerbils in general adorable. They're either sleeping or busy, busy, busy. So much fun to watch.
