It's with a heavy heart that I share the news of my sweet little gerbil, Stormrage, crossing the rainbow bridge last night. 💔 He fought so hard and is finally at peace.

We'll miss his him and all the love he gave us. He may have been a small part of our world, but he made a huge impact on our hearts.

Run free now, little Stormrage. No more pain, just endless sunflower seeds and soft bedding in that peaceful place. Thank you for all the love and laughter you brought into our lives. You will be deeply missed and forever in our memories.

Thank you for everything. ❤️

Update on Stormrage: he seems to have kidney issues, which can be associated with tumors. Since we didn't see any tumors around his scent gland or in his ears, there could be internal ones. Right now we're syringe feeding him with a mixture of low sodium chicken broth and kitten replacement milk and there has been some improvement. We've ordered some Critical Care Omnivore from Oxbow and giving subcutaneous fluids to help him hydrate. He's already starting to do more gerbil things, so here's hoping for more improvement!

Stormrage and his brother Moonwhisper are 2 years and one week old today. It seems like forever since they both came to us as from Sarah at River City Gerbils along with Shadowsong and a few others. Stormrage quickly became my favorite and was a big as an Idaho Potato! He has slowly lost weight over the few weeks and is not doing well today. Please keep him in your thoughts as we give him all the love and care we can during this time. Thank you. 💜
