Goosebumps is still available and he really deserves a good home.

He is a case study in "don't judge a book by its cover" and also "beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

I won't sugarcoat it. He's ugly. Really ugly. The first few photos are mid bath because he was covered in old blood and sticky applesauce that he was unable to groom off. Alas, the bath wasn't really able to help him all that much.

His nose is scarred and crooked. His tail is short and broken. He's missing most of the fingers on one hand, as well as several toes. He is currently recovering from a fractured leg. He previously had a wart on his sc***um that has since been removed.

He sort of looks like a lab rat that went through a dozen different harrowing experiments, escaped by way of the sewer, and was dragged into someone's house by their cat.

He also doesn't play nice with others. His old wounds are testament to this. He was previously in an overcrowded situation, and he still seems to harbor a grudge against other gerbils. He can get along for awhile, but it seems to eventually devolve into fighting. It's probably best that he live alone.

But--he's fun. He loves nothing more than to shred cardboard. He can destroy a box in a day. He's interested in people. He'll play tug of war with a stick. He'll let you pick him up and gob him around and dress him in hats. He could make someone a very good solo companion; I suspect that he would bond to the right person and his personality would really shine through, but he just doesn't have the opportunity for one-on-one attention here. He's surviving, but he's not thriving, and he would do better in a pet home where he could get more attention and stimulation. Despite his haggard appearance, I was told that he's only about a year old, so he's got a lot of life left in him yet.

Please consider adopting this guy and joining the FGC (Fugly Gerbil Club).

It's a little-known fact that gerbils are abundant at the North Pole.

The holidays are fast approaching, and all the gerbils and jirds are getting ready.

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION: Covergirl and Maybelline

These two are the last pair available (so far) from the recent big intake. But they are so so cute that I wouldn't be terribly sad if they don't find a home and I have to keep them. Covergirl js an absolutely gorgeous dark-eyed honey and her sister, Maybelline, is a lovely deep orange argente. They are estimated to be around 6 months old and are either half or full sisters. They get along great together. They are very sweet with people, but are also very nervous and will need someone who is patient and willing to work on building their trust. Please send a message if interested in learning more about adopting these two darlings.

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION: Turkey and Goose

This father/son pair includes Turkey, a truly handsome deep orange argente, and Goose, who....is a white gerbil. OK, he's not exactly a looker. These two seem to have had a bit of a rough go at life. The younger male is very timid and submissive. His father, meanwhile, is absolutely battlescarred from prior altercations. His nose is crooked from an old bite, his tail is covered in healed wounds, and he is missing the tips of most of his fingers (presumably because someone chewed them off). Still, he seems happy and active, and he is very gentle with his son. Both are a little jumpy, likely due to prior experiences, but they are still very handleable and not bitey. Rough estimate of age is 6 and 12 months, but exact age is not known. These two deserve a good home where they no longer have to be afraid of infighting from overcrowded conditions. Please message if interested in adopting these boys.

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION: Turmeric and Coriander

These sweet boys (Turmeric, a saffron, and Coriander, a dark-eyed honey) are two offspring from the recent intake. They are inquisitive and gentle. Turmeric is currently healing from a very nasty bite wound at the base of his tail, but while it will leave a scar, it should not affect him at all. They are available for adoption as a pair to an approved home. Please message if interested in learning more.

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION: Butternut and Acorn

I recently picked up a group of gerbils who were in need of rehoming. I will be posting them in pairs. While they aren't exactly rescues, they were in need of a soft spot to land and are available for adoption to good homes.

Butternut (honey) and Acorn (lilac) are two young adult females. While still nervous around sudden movements, they are very sweet, handable, and easy to hold. They seem to be very healthy and are a bonded pair. If you are interested in learning more, please send a message!
