Who is the smartest gerbil I have ever met?
It’s got to be Charley, who’s balancing skills are second to none.
She will happily run across the hands and shoulders of people all day if we let her.
Mr Scrabbles is not such a good climber but he does jump through a hoop on the promise of a sunflower seed (any rodent’s bargaining food)
Charley and Scrabbles are a brother and sister pair (Scrabbles is castrated) and I like to use them to show how friendly and interesting gerbils are as pets. They are not always in store so if you or your child want to meet them, it’s best to phone in advance.
