Re: Gerbils...
Well, she ate two sub-adults(about 75-80% adult size), pre-killed in my "pillowcase of death". No degloving of tails that way, hehe. She eats like it is going out of style, so I shouldn't have much to fear. I'm offering her normal rats next week, and alternating until the stupid things are gone, LoL. She hesitated at first(I think she was being lazy-she was on one end, I was dangling said gerbil on the other), probably didn't recognize that gerbiley(is this a word?) smell, but when I put it in front of her face, she struck and constricted it with as much force as with the rats.
So, we'll see next week, but I doubt she'll have any problems. I already asked around to see if any one in our neighborhood wanted them: Nope... I'd ship them, but dry ice is outrageously expensive, and I have no clue on how to pack them so they would actually stay cold. Another thing, my mom suggested letting them go at her coworkers house(lives in the country). I just asked her "Do we live in Mongolia? Because that's where they are from." Nope, didn't think so... She also suggested just euthanizing them and just throwing them away. I told her that I don't understand why you would just throw an animal away when you didn't want it anymore... At least this way they are being useful. If they aren't going to get eaten by something, why not let them stay alive until their demise? 
Anyway, thanks for the input, it is appreciated. But like I said, we'll see how it goes next week
