haha wow i thought you were joking about the gerbil paste stuff by the way you were getting more disgusting as you went on haha. but i tried to get a gerbil before because i was in dire need for a feeder and mice weren't an option. they had jumbo rats only. so i was like well ill take a gerbil and the person told me they couldn't sell me it because they knew i was gonna feed it to my snake. They said it was illegal, but now that im reading my story im thinking they may have just wanted to save the gerbil. haha i did kinda feel bad about trying to kill a gerbil, an animal i used to have as a pet.
