Gerbils and Mices and Rats, Oh My!

Last week, Soleil woke up to find one of her gerbils (previously named Kyle, but now obviously a Kyla) gave birth to 5 babies. By the time she left for church there were 7 and when she returned from church there were 8! These babies are in addition to the one that was born 5 weeks ago...prematurely we are figuring. The 5-week old will remain in Soleil's care and,in three months, the new babies will be brought to Critter Hut in North Kingstown. Soleil will receive store credit for selling the gerbils to the store for others to purchase and enjoy!

This week, the girls have attended meetings at two different 4-H Clubs. We are trying to connect with a dog group for Soleil and Aisha is trying to find others who are into rats. She has two rats named Lio and Neko (girls). Photos to follow soon!
