Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Chase and Flea are a bonded pair of approximately 1-1.5 year old male gerbils. They were surrendered to us by a chain pet store employee after sitting in the store for 6 months exhibiting aggressive behavior.
These boys have not shown any aggression with us, but we would not recommend them to be handled by young children just as a precaution. Despite being unhappy at the vet, they did not even try to bite our veterinarian or their foster family.
They love snuggling together in a pile, digging in their bedding, chewing cardboard, and just generally being funny little animals. They are active and don't like to sit still in your hand or be picked up, but they will come sniff you and investigate if you've brought anything interesting for them.
Chase and Flea are identical twins. Chase is slightly bigger and a little darker colored but otherwise they can be tricky to tell apart at a glance! Chase is also a little bit bolder than Flea, who can be more nervous.
We are able to meet for adoptions within 1 hour of Minneapolis, MN. Potentially further- please inquire and we can discuss!
