Yeah, can I have this lady take care of me? Maru has everything provided and lots of extra luxury provisions along the way. It does seem like a one-way relationship, though. She does everything for him, and what does he give her in return? Well, maybe some pleasure in caring for a needy little animal and some entertainment in watching the little guy doing his thing.

[@tamielizabethallaway2413]

Absolutely! Just like human babies, animals also don't choose to be born nor which family they'll end up with. They bring so much joy, love and humour, and it is an honour to care for them. Not enough people think seriously enough before committing to having them. ❤

[@ceasarsaran8573]

If it was, we would be extinct. She is putting her need to have an actual baby onto an animal she keeps captive. The gerbil would probably rather be with others of his own kind, and not in a cage. Nothing likes to live in a cage. Thats why they get out, because they hate it.

I have never seen a pet rodent pampered to this extreme. I love that along with the cuteness (which is clearly to please your viewers and yourself), you have put so much thought into what is best for the gerbil (gerbil chooses the blanket, chef-level nutritious meals, etc.).

GERBSTER

[@ChallieWallie]

It is a so called Fat-Tailed gerbil. They use their tails to store fat in just like camels use their humbs. This specimen actually has a rather slim tail, indicating he isn't that old yet. Fat tailed gerbils are very funny pets. They tend to live a bit longer than the more commonly seen Mongolian Gerbils and are smaller, with very, very soft and fluffy coats. In contrast to Mongolian Gerbils, they are solitary animals and are more nocturnal as well. Fair warning...they are on the black list in some countries. Meaning you can't own them as a pet without a permit.

[@kathyberry3878]
