Gerbil Foster Mom

Thought I'd share a cute story about a really good gerbil mom named Roxi. Last Saturday I was up at Donna of ABC gerbils house, and she showed me one of her females who had a new litter of three pups. One of the pups was tiny and failing, and she didn't seem to be taking care of it. Donna said that if the pups stayed with the mom it would probably die, so I should put it in with Roxi, who had three two and a half week old pups who were doing really well. I didn't know how that would work out, because the other pups were so much bigger then this tiny pink baby, but we tried it, and it's been almost a week and it seems to be thriving. I'm trying not to get too attached, but if it makes it I will name the pup Amazing. Here is a pic from this morning of little Amazing with the rest of the three week old litter.
