Gerbil fighting; split screening, and updates.

[Die Fledermaus]

So, I have two guys being split screened. Meanwhile, Sakira died leaving Spice alone.

Yesterday the three lovely white girls, sisters together for six months, started fighting - one started to be attacked, and she fought back. So, out she came.

The pair of white girls went into a 10 gallon; three other females (a mom and two daughters) went into their 20 gallon tank - two agouti and one black. Odd seeing different gerbs in that tank in front of me.

The white girl is now being screened with Spice.

Meanwhile, a second split screening failed, and that bully stays alone, at least for now.

I know that bonded trios can break down, but this is especially unfortunate as they were sisters I got as pups and they were togther for at least six months getting along fabulously.

Oh well.

Nothing changed in their environment. If there was a change it was inside them. I have asked some folks at the AGS site about this and when I get an answer, if I do, I will tell you.
