Skyrocket reminds me of my very first gerbil called Misty, she got lonely though so I found her a friend who happened to be a male. He was being bullied so I had to take him home with me, he was the same colour as Mia is and I called him Toffee. Introductions went well Misty kept licking his nose which had a bit of blood on it from him being beaten up, he just squeaked the whole time she licked him. Toffee even tried to fend her off but Misty gave him a left hook, knocked him over and went back to licking. Luckily Misty was too old to have pups, didn't stop them having fun though >_>

When Misty was put to sleep due to severe illness and old age Toffee got depressed, he stopped eating, drinking and just laid in the bottom of his tank not doing anything. Afraid he would die from depression I had to find him a new companion, none of the petshops had males so I got him a black female and called her Popcorn. He perked up right away at having her with him, they didn't start mating until she was old enough and big enough.

They had a lot of litters together Toffee always helped with the pups, unlike hamsters its really hard to tell when a gerbil is pregnant you just have to wait to find out. I could never tell with Popcorn if she was pregnant or not. The colours they had were always one or two that were like Toffee, a few blacks and always two albinos. As Popcorn got older Toffee's colour stopped showing up and it was more blacks with one albino, her last litter she ever had was two black males. One of them had a fully formed hand but it always remained curled up, he couldn't move it at all but it never stopped him from doing anything. I kept the two brothers together since they were pretty close, they ended up taking turns humping one another >_>

Now I miss keeping gerbils, maybe I can convince my other half that we need some gerbils xD
