Regarding the runabout balls... Our son has had three gerbils since
the 1st of the year... The black one (for TJS), Moe, is very fond of that
ball.. but the other two don't know how to maneuver in it... even though
they were all introduced to the ball when we first got them... The agouti
one, Larry, dutifully pees in it every time he is in it. Curly, the white
one, does not move around in it. Different tastes for our little guys ?
We have enjoyed reading all postings on your list! Thanks!
