Gerbil in my tea!!!!!

[Lauren Bowman]

You might find this amusing!       I had my gerbils out on the sofa playing through wrapping paper tubes, and i had hot tea on the floor.  (Molly and Matilda are 2 of their names)   Molly jumped off the couch and dove into the hot tea, floundering about like a drowning cow in water.  (LOL)  I was really worried and ran to her rescue.   I dryed her with cotton balls and some blow dryer.         She was fine, no burns on her that i know of, but she seems fine.   This happened about a week ago.  They weren't sleeping together for awhile, probably from the smell of tea. heehehe.  Is tea okay for her to drink?  I'm sure she swolowed some. How can I tell if she got any in her ears?!  Thanks for your help. -Lauren and the Mighty Clan
