This is Tilty and Cat Woman, my two remaining gerbils. They are sisters and are roughly two years old. Tilty got her name due to a head tilt she has that was initially caused by a fall and then later pronounced by a small stroke she had. Cat Woman, well, her color...

Today Jason woke me up to come look at Buddy. He was acting strange and deciding to lay down in mid-stride, while he ate and just in odd places. After a text to our awesome veterinarian we were instructed to make sure he didn’t have a fever. We did that and...
