This sweet old guy lost his mate💔

👀4️⃣ retirement 🏡

Fun fact: gerbils mate for life, so when they lose their mates, it takes a lot of work and patience to get them to consider taking another.

•About 2- 2½ years old (life expectancy 3-5 years)
•He's nearly, if not already, past breeding age
•A little lazy, just wants to sleep and eat
•Would prefer a calm home with no danger (cats and dogs) so he can enjoy retirement 🙂

Yesterday was such an eventful day here at the Gerbil Trailer!!

Recently, I had heard about a nonprofit organization outside of Knoxville that works with UT vet school to hospitalize, rehabilitate, and release predator birds back into the wild. Some of the birds they see include red-tailed hawks, barred owls, horned owls, and occasionally eagles. They also have educational programs that allow them to raise awareness for the declining populations of these incredible birds.

I had several hundred gerbils that were too old to breed or sell, and there was little interest in using for pets due to their age and short life span. So, I made the decision to donate these gerbils that I could not use to this nonprofit, as they are constantly needing food sources with the dozens of birds they take in.

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of meeting the founder of this organization and her husband, as they came to pick up what we thought would be about 500 gerbils. Once we started talking, I decided to donate all the gerbils I could, which ended up being close to 1,000 gerbils! We were able to clear the shelves, and create a fresh start here at Girlie's Gerbils! In return, Lisa, the head of the organization, decided to make a generous donation that will feed the gerbils for nearly a month!!

HUGE THANK YOU to Lisa and Chris for driving all this way, and for supporting this small business!! I can't wait to see the magnificent birds that will benefit from the gerbils that I thought had no use!

WE'RE USDA CERTIFIED!! 🥳🥳

After several long months of renovating, preparing, organizing, and just plain ol' gerbiling, we're finally licensed to sell our lovable gerbils! Praise the Lord!

This has been such a tiresome process, and one that most certainly could not have been done without the help of everyone that has made this possible over the last 8 months. I'm so thankful for everyone that has contributed in some way- whether it be through lending a hand, offering ideas, providing encouragement, or helping us send up prayers.

From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU EVERYONE!!

Now on to the next chapter: turning this dream into a business. 🤩

WE ARE OFFICIALLY MOVED 🥳🥳

After several months of hard work, we have finally moved the gerbils into their own trailer behind the house.

THANK YOU to everyone that has helped to make this possible!!! A special shout out to my dad, who has worked day and night to transform the old, beat up trailer we bought into such a nice house for the gerbies.

More pictures are coming soon with all the gerbils moved in, the flooring put down, and the space cleaned up!

Look at all those babies!! 🤩

This is a new boxing system for the gerbils that began a while back as an experiment.

This set up saves space, time, and money! It is so easy to work with and offers a full view inside the boxes from the top.

At first, the gerbils were not crazy about this arrangement. They were so used to their other boxes that have clear bottoms so they can see all around them. However, after several months, they finally came around to them.

The clothespins are indicators for which pairs have babies. Each clothespin has the date they were born, and are color coordinated so it is easier to gather pups for weaning when the time comes!
