So, my brother brought another gerbil home today and I'm now realizing how full of rodents our home is. So, today I took stock of all of them (and took pictures on my crappy phone camera) and decided to share the zoo we have over here. It started with my rats, actually, and then my sister fell in love with some guinea pigs, and then my brother, who has ADHD, ended up having a serious improvement in his behavior when he took care of our pets. He is very careful and patient and attentive with them, and so we agreed to let him have small animals as well, and he's worlds better with them. Which is why he was allowed to bring another one home today.
This is my little Lucille (and part of my face). She is my youngest and newest, and came to me in the poorest condition. She's a nervous little girl, but she's so sweet.
My slightly less sweet, affectionate Eos. She lets me hold her now, so we're doing good.
My old lady, Dot. She survived an emergency surgery, but hasn't totally bounced back.
My sweet cuddlebug, Mohini.
Gumdrop, the Destroyer, the senior rat of the cage (despite being one of the youngest).
My sister's long-haired guinea pig, Adidas (Didi).
Nike, another of my sister's pigs. Our lovable jerk.
Aerie, trying to eat my pencil. She gets away with a lot because she has massive feet infections and a belly full of huge cysts, and we didn't know that when we got her. My sister's newest pig.
Fat Albert (Alby), my brother's gerbil.
Clementine, Alby's cagemate.
Oreo, the newest gerbil, who is too fast for my camera.
Jordan (I call her Possum) isn't really ours. She belongs to my brother's girlfriend, but I'm the one who went to pick her up from her previous owner and we really bonded that night, and I still like to think she's mine.
