Hi. Would like to establish some gerbils as pets. The last time I purchased them from a pet store chain, they all died from a virus borne by ectopic mites (Yeah I'm an entomologist with acrologistical leanings). Does anyone have any suggestions as to a local DC/Northern VA/Maryland gerbil breeder who has locally raised gerbils? thanks, Adam -- Adam Finkelstein adamf@radix.net http://metalab.unc.edu/bees/adamf

Do you want a paper towel tube and a lighter supplier, too? ;) Adam Finkelstein <adamf@golux.radix.net> wrote: > Hi. > Would like to establish some gerbils as pets.

I somehow rather doubt it, I suspect that all of their breeding stock got
stuffed in Dupont Circle...

That's _so_ clever of you. Urban legends like the "gerbil tube" one are still funny. Now, does anyone have any helpfull suggestions? I do not want to purchase mite and virus weakend gerbils and have to watch them die again. That really wasn't enjoyable. Adam -- Adam Finkelstein adamf@radix.net http://metalab.unc.edu/bees/adamf

I had extra Gerbils for years. I'd swap the young ones with the store for pet food. Just go out and buy about four critters from differnet stores and I'm sure you'll strike gold so to speak.
