New Poll And Answers From Nellie & Herman

We have a handful of site updates to announce. First, check out the new Gerbil Poll. We'd like to know what colors of gerbils are your favorite. We'll post the results next Thursday night, December 7th.

Nellie and Herman also want to let everyone know that they've answered several letters from kids about gerbils this week. Nellie answered a question from N. about how much to feed a gerbil each day. Herman answered two letters this week: one from S.K., who wanted to know whether gerbils can run around outside of the tank and one from A., who wanted to know if there's any way to introduce gerbils without a split cage.

Nellie and Herman still have a few more letters to answer, so if they haven't gotten to yours yet, please be patient. They're busy writing letters!
