Long Time, No Post!

Well, it has certainly been a long time since I've posted anything here! I hope to do a much better job of keeping up with this blog from here on out! It's been a busy time at Twin Squeaks.

You may have noticed that the site is slowly getting a major overhaul to a new design. I hope you like the new look!

As far as our gerbils go, everyone is still doing very well. Hope is quite old now (nearly 4 years old!) and has arthritis in her hips, but she's still getting around really well, all things considered! She loves spending time sitting on the couch with me. :)

The big news is that Herman is currently vacationing in Missouri with his new wife Kaden. I don't breed gerbils myself, but Herman's been living alone for a while, and my friend Jo at Black Wolf Clan Gerbils was very interested in breeding Herman after he won Best In Show in the American Gerbil Society's 2007 Virtual Show.

The plan is for Herman to raise a couple of litters with Kaden, and then he'll return home with one of his sons. I miss Herman horribly right now, but I didn't like to see him living alone, and I'm really looking forward to meeting his son when he comes back home!

We also have a pair of new gerbils! Grace and Tori are a pair of red fox sisters who were born in July. They are incredibly cute and very sweet! We're still working on getting them hand tame, but they're making great progress! It's really nice to have another pair of red fox girls again, because Audrey and Ramona and Faith and Hope were red fox pairs as well. :)

I hope that you and your gerbils are doing well! I'll do my best to keep you updated on the world of gerbils and the happenings here at Twin Squeaks!
