Cleaned gerbil tank, filled it back up with nice layers of peat and straw. Gerbils have decided they want to live on a hillside - peat depth now varies from 0 to 8". Have you not heard of tunnels, little gerbil dudes? And I think they've buried their food bowl...

My fish do that. I leave them lots of nice open swimming space, with rocks and hidey holes around the side and back, and no! they want a heap of gravel, with bare glass in other places.

They then undermine the rock formations so they fall over.

Bah!

PS Gerbil says it's not a hillside, it's a ladder... A bit like piling snow up to make a ramp against prison walls.

Your ~~mom~~ fish don't sound very clever.

Hmm, is the gerbil ramp thing like Thucydides' Siege of Plataea like what I did at school - and can I remember the next steps in the escalation?

I thought the whole point of gerbils was that they tunnel!

As to food bowls, we eventually gave up and gave them a liberal sprinkling of food in the cage every day.
