Back again!

[Cora Burke]

Hi all --   After all long period of absence of gerbils in my life, today I could no longer resist the urge and got a gorgeous little silver agouti and a dove.    For the time being we've got them in a spacious hamster cage (mesh cage, three levels, lots of toys and bits 'n' pieces) and they seem happy enough with it, but I'm inclined to get them an old aquarium or tank or something more protected from draft anyway; what do you think?   Secondly, back in Holland I used to feed my clan Hope Farm pellets and I've been looking for it here in the UK for quite a while now, but can't find it.  Does anyone know where I can get it, or does anyone have an address for Hope Farm?  A similar food would be fine, too; just as long as it has everything they need and is nice and hard on their teeth.   Thanks for your advice, and it's good to be back --   Cora
