Sexism in the pet food industry

[Pouchy]

here goes :

Harry Hamster
Gerri gerbil
Reggie rat
Charlie Chinchilla
Russell Rabbit
Frankie Ferret

The only concession to those of a feminine gender is:

Gerty Guinea Pig

Ay, ladies, don't it make ya want ta spit

[Spuds Mum]

But isn't Harry Hamster short for Harriet?
and Gerri - Geraldine
Reggie - Regina
Charlie - Charlotte
Frankie - Francesca...
OK i give up with Russell

It is strange Pouchy, now you mention it, maybe small rodents just seem 'male' somehow

[Pouchy]

Russellina?

i'm sure gerri gerbil is a lady. the bag is pink and the gerbil has a pink feather boa on! i think the other characters are male! but yes i do agree most of them are male, the photos on the P@H stuff all seem to be male!

Harry hamster here (US) is called Hazel hamster, with a girl ham on front.. see

Maybe all the girls are in the USA and the boys in the UK

Is the girl hamster suffering from alopecia as she seems to be wearing a wig!
