As you can see, cheddar is chewing away. The thing is, he finishes the cardboard tube so quickly and them starts chewing the bars and scratches his little nose up! I'll have to keep the tubes coming!

You'll have to get all your neighbours to give you their tubes!

Cheddar is WIDE awake.
Gerbils aren't normally nocturnal.
I'm like a trigger for him to wake up. As soon as I come into my room and start moving around he wakes up, it's rather annoying when I'm trying to sleep.
I don't mine digging, scratching etc but I hate him chewing the bars as his nose gets scratched where it rubs and ends up bleeding.

Crepuscular behaviour is normal for the domestic gerbil.
Silly Cheddar.
Gotta get a big stock of those cardboard tubes.

He probably says the same to his mates "....as soon as I'm asleep she comes into the room and starts moving around - it's rather annoying when I'm trying to sleep!"

Evening all!
Just about to head to bed - I'm exhausted :(
I just wanted to pop on to apologise for not participating in the usual banter!
I got a call yesterday from my mum to say my grans in the hospital. Today we found out that my gran has colon cancer and she's getting an emergency operation to try and cut the cancerous growth out.
The doctors are hopeful they will be able to cut it out but she's 81 and my gran and I love her to bits so amensily upset atm
Don't know if you guys know this but beastie used to be called Elsie after my gran before we found out he wasn't a girl.
So everyone please with granny Brodie the best of luck with her op tomorrow!
I will give everyone an update as soon as I can.
Goodnight everyone

Every broken bone that I ever had...(And I've had several) seemed to heal pretty well and quickly. What I wasn't told is that later in life I would be re visited by the pains.
Everything that ever hurt is now back to haunt me.
I'm not that old right now. I'm going to make one miserable senior citizen!
You're not alone in that. I'm 23 and I have severe carpel tunnel in both wrists plus the cartilage is almost gone, I'll have to replace both knees and my left hip before I'm 35, my left ankle broke about two years back but never healed right so it still sometimes snaps again, my right foot has a fracture in it that never healed and randomly swells up and shoots pain, my back is completely shot both the muscular system and the vertebrae, my left shoulder pops out of the socket randomly, I choke to the point of turning purple at least once a day because my neck and esophagus are damaged, I've had at least 5 concussions, my nose has been broken twice but the second break made it look straight again so no complaints, my right eye socket has a fracture in it, and my right inner ear was damaged as a newborn so I get dizzy really bad and car sick. On top of that I have Lyme Disease, fibromyalgia, nerve damage from various things in various places, etc etc. I could go on forever, but that would take a while. Basically the docs are surprised I can move as easily as I do (she says while taking 20 minutes to stand up)

Goodness Angel what a lot you have to contend with! Yet you still manage to remain cheerful, you are an inspiration to us all.
