You any idea how much it costs to go to the vets these days? :angry:

Are Anicare still around? They used to treat your animal for free if you couldn't afford a normal vets and then you left what you could afford in a tin/box on the way out. I am talking 20 years ago, so things may have changed :shrug:

I'm a bit of a twat where animals are concerned and I'd pay the bill and worry about how I was going to pay it off afterwards

Gerbils are so small, I don't think there is a lot you can do. He will either recover or he won't. Looking 50:50 at the moment.

If it's demise does happen this weekend, bury him deep. The foxes dug ours up which was nice for my Daughter to find the next day. She didn't find a chewed mouse (that was long gone), just a re-dug hole, an empty box and bog roll shrewn around burial site. It haunted her for years.

Good advice. Something similar happened to a baby hedghog that we buried earlier this year (after it had died, obviously!!)

Hither (sometimes Thither)
When i was a child i had two gerbils and both seemed to have decided to end their lives rather than continue living with me and my eager hands. One bent the bars of its fair-sized cage, managing to break its neck near the beginnings of its escape. I saw it when i got home from scare staring deadly into my eyes. The second gerbil choked on a cornflake clearly too big for its throat. With its tic-tac-sized teeth it could have chewed through it first, i thought, but either decided to swallow it whole as a dare some gerbil living nextdoor whistled through or just didn't like where it was and thought it a good way to go. If it were me and i chose to off myself in that way i'd shove about 10 angry bees in my mouth, the majority stinging me and themselves to death, but one or two crawling out for the police to see when my body was found and have to write a report on.

Hurrah - that's cracking news! :clap:

ps Shirley it's a sign innit? With such a metaphore for a survival against the odds like this lil chap has provided us with, I'll be travelling up to Wycombe today with belief in a Hinshelwood-inspired day of cup glory. I mean, what could possibly go wrong now??

Gerbil Army!! :clap2:

Bury it at the Falmer Stadium site, where the pitch will be. Then when Hove's body decomposes, it will provide nutrition for the dirt that will produce some turf and Hove will live on as grass on a football field.
