![]() She used to call herself Nature Girl. Now shes Girlie-Girl. There wont be any more gerbils tended by children at my house. Hattie is my last child, nearly fourteen. My seven kids have been through snakes, lizards, guinea pigs, gerbils galore, a wounded pigeon, an orphaned swallow and an orphaned robin, mice, and crickets. ![]() Was the girl eight or nine when we went to the pet store for this one? I cant remember. ![]() The gerbil had died some few days before. Um, yes we have timed it.Īnd then I felt a small stab of grief. Should you wonder”and I cant think why you would”we can figure about twenty minutes for a toilet roll tube and maybe forty-five and more for an empty roll from paper towels. The little creature enjoys running through the tube before settling down to chew it up into more bedding. Hattie is my thirteen-year-old and I am under oft-repeated instructions to save the cardboard tube. Changing out the paper towels I remembered by habit to set aside the empty roll for Hatties gerbil.
