I was debating over whether or not to post this, but I decided it'd be worth sharing feeder animal experiences. Stories are always fun Anyway, my boyfriend was down from Canada last week for Spring beak visiting me, and I asked him if he'd whack a gerbil for me to try to get Eleanor eating again (she's been fasting since early December). He agreed so we went and bought a gerbil. Neither of us realized how creepy gerbils are, lol, I knew I didn't like them but he was completely disgusted by it. On the way home I had to stop at the bank to get pizza money, and apparently while I was inside, Daniel was so disgusted that he decided to put it in a bag and whack it right there in the parking lot. When I came out he told me there was alot of blood and not to open the gerbil box until we got home. I asked how hard he had whacked it and he told me he had to do it four or five times really hard because it just didn't want to die, it wouldn't stop moving. I had forgotten to explain that they twitch after they die (am I right on this?) so he beat the crap out of a dead gerbil. Kind of gross, but funny I guess, lol. Oh, and of course we went through all the grief and Eleanor didn't eat it. She did show interest though, something she hasn't done in months! Anybody have any good feeder stories?
