  2. I do support you, as long as you're not planning on breeding them!

    1. DO YOUR HOMEWORK

    There is so much to learn about gerbils, so go online or get a book and print out a little paper on gerbils that you typed yourself...show this to your parents, how can they say no after you've worked so hard? This will also show them how much it means to you.

    2. DO YOUR CHORES

    When your mom or dad asks you to do something, avoid saying "Hang on" or "Ok, wait" because parents hate to wait! Lol. So when you are asked to do a chore, make sure you do it right away, that way your parents will know you have the responsibility.

    3. ASK YOUR FRIENDS

    Ask your friends if someone can take in your gerbils. Make sure they have a detailed list of everything they need to do, even if they already have a gerbil. Bring the supplies they may need, to.

    Or you can see if Petsmart or Petco will take care of your gerbils, because they might.

    4. GERBIL RESCUE SHELTERS!

    Please, buy a gerbil from a rescue if you can, because if you do, then when you go on vacation the rescue may take care of them for you. I got my gerbils from rescues, so when we went on vacation, they took them in for very cheap!

    Some other tips:

    After you get your gerbils, make sure you continue to follow the responsibility of owning and hamster, as well doing chores and such. If you have any problems with taking care of the gerbils, don't make your pet suffer and be afraid, tell your parents!

    Good Luck!

  3. I'm not sure I understand. You gave your gerbil away, and now you want two more gerbils? Why did you give away your other pet in the first place? They're not things you should just be taking and getting rid of.

    Do you have two cages? You can't keep a boy and a girl together, even if they're brother and sister. They'll still mate and have babies, and if you don't even know if your parents will let you get these gerbils they will definitely not want babies.

    I suppose you should just ask them for them. Tell them you will KEEP THEM and take care of them their entire lives. Be responsible, do lots of research and tell them about it.

  4. Why do you want a male and female?  Do you plan on breeding them?  If you do then your question makes no sense if you already gave away your gerbil.
