Well, we now have some new gerbils. After the gerbil fiasco a few months back, we knew we'd have to wait until our last gerbil died before being able to have any new ones, and after a day or two of looking really rough, Billy died yesterday morning. So, luckily the pet shop had some in stock - the kids wanted girl gerbils this time (largely because Olivia wanted to call one Millie), and they happened to have 3 - so we reserved them and went today to collect them. When we got there, it happened they had four females, litter-mates, and we had such a tough time deciding which would be the unlucky (or perhaps lucky!) one left behind that... well, you can work it out for yourself, I'll bet.
So, up above, we have Charlie, who is a brownish colour. Below is Mimi, who is a sort of tannish grey, with a slightly darker tail. (I think that Mimi is also in the picture above, but it's hard to tell.)
And then there's Millie (of course) who is a pale gingery colour,
and last but not least, we have Bianca, who is an albino (red eyes and all) - named after the mouse from the Rescuers.
