The Great Gerbil Adventures
A chronicle of the little rodents in our family.
Gerbil Sex-Change?!

Earlier this month, Yelena confirmed what she long expected – that Mohinder and Caesar are not little boy-gerbils at all, but little girl-gerbils! PetLand took a look at our babies, swore they were boys, and out the door we went. Now, two months later, we are sure they’re girls, and we are sure (see picture) that Skinny is one happy old man.

The Great Gerbil Adventures, Volume 1
Check out the second of our gerbil-video submissions to YouTube now online at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlueUOasWNI. It is the first video production for the gerbils made with Windows Movie Maker, and hopefully production value will only increase once the gerbils figure out how to work the mouse a little better…

Introducing Mohinder and Caesar

They don’t stand still long enough to get clear shots, but they’ll slow down soon enough. This photo dates to November 29, 2007, a day after we bought them, when the people at Petland said they were just two months old.

Skinny and Chubby Snacking in the Bronx


Here we have a typical Skinny and Chubby action shot as the two brothers are hard at work devouring the remains of a PathMark banana. The photo is dated June 29, 2007.
