I do! I couldn't live with you EVER! I'd never meet your perfect standards, and I don't think I'd want to either!

I don't have perfect standards at all. Luckily I'm not asking you to live with me.

I just find that a bit odd considering you were complaining about the same thing last Thursday.

Charlalottie, by the sounds of it you should not be allowed to keep animals.

Blowing up gerbils? Charlalottie, you are a female Jeremy Clarkson.

My rats chew on everything - it's their instinct. I'm guessing if I put a book in or near their cage it would be shredded within days. Not a lot of training required. I've had gerbils too and they didn't explode, altho they are impossible to catch once running free. I can just scoop my rats up when I want to - altho admittedly Gabriel is easier to catch than Gilligan. They have very distinct personalities.

Can you talk me through the exploding gerbil incident?

Was it like "yippee-ki-yay mother ducker" and there was a massive explosion that tore through the building?

Or did it just kinda... burst?

Or to irritate the neigbours, ours went on holiday and all week we had the annoying chimes from next door, so I went around and gaffer taped the things together.......... silence is golden. So where in Nottingham will your new stables be Mr Ed?


One of the (many) posh new high-rises in Nottingham City Centre.

Oh I see, the ones going cheap because no one's buying them. So probably down by Castle Boulevard area then?

George sadly died from some lump Gillan just died, Gregory also randomly died and Gilbert can't remember and Geri also randomly died but Geri her stomach seemed to explode cos I went down to her cage to find her at the bottom of the cage with a massive sort of chasm where her stomach was and blood everywhere. It was quite horrible.


Did you find a tiny dead one of these at the bottom of the cage? -

We had some gerbils that turned on each other and tried to eat each other. Scramble and Spud they were called.

I had a friend who had dwarf hamsters and one killed the other. Very unpleasant. My gerbils had a falling out and I had to separate them, but I don't think they were trying to eat each other, just fight. Probably a territorial thing.

I once had to look after 17 of the gerbil things as a kid, they bred like a windmill, I remember em being all pink as babbas. It was because my mates family had gone on holiday, and my Amiga500 had to be moved out the way to accomodate them all.
Oh and I was amazed how many boxes I checked on Nicolas list, quite spooky actually!
