But the small tank stunk!! On the way home I was counting them and could only count 7 in total, I thought the woman mistyped the advert and put a 8 instead of a 7. When I did get home I was putting the four gerbils in a bigger cage and saw a small a pile of black fur underneath the woodchippings and straight away I knew what it was. I couldn't believe it . The poor gerbil was only about 4 weeks old but must of been there buried for a couple of weeks. I'm just glad I got them when I did. To be honest it made me upset. I knew having 8 gerbils will be a bit much for me to handle but I couldn't resist it, as I've already got 3 rodents myself but I'm going to look after them for a couple of weeks then either put them up for adoption or just ask for a small price to insure they go to a good home.
