Hello everyone.
It's my birthday today (I'm 15), and I've just got 2 little Mongolian gerbils on the day before yesterday, from the pet store. They are only 4 weeks old! So cute, I really love 'em! I named my two girls Mazsola and Szotyola. Mazsola means Raisins and Szotyola means Sunflower seed (in Hungarian)... They are so little and young. Mazsola is licking the glass of the terrarium (or my fingers) all the time, and I think she wants to get milk from her momma... *.* :) And Szotyola is always looking at me as her lunch xD She's a bitty little girl.
I just wanted to write down how cute they are. I love them! I'll upload pictures later.
Have a nice day.
