Yeah dead tree's lining the street are no fun. Though when I was real young me and my best friend used to take them and decorate them with things we found like leave, pine cones and insalation LOL... then play house. So my memories of those tree's were turned positive. i still hate taking it down though, such a pain in the bum.
There are no branches around the fence anymore, and yesterday i caught Pitters reaching up, pulling at a decoration so he could get at the branch it was on! He's so clever!

Very sweet. I need to give mine more OUT time. I thought the trees all grew on Christmas tree farms. PitStop doesn't have a cage, he just run around upstairs. Last night I left my room door open and he started jumping on the bed when i was trying to sleep LOL We went to a Christmas Tree Farm. When I was a kid my parents bought pre-cut tree's at the grocery store parking lot. Most people I know have fake tree's... actually i can't think of anyone off the top of my head who has a real tree anymore. I posted this picture on a rabbit forum, and one girl commented on how her rabbit was trying to eat her fake tree LOL.

Saturday we went out and cut down a X-mas tree, Sunday we brought it in the house and put it up. Boy did we have a HAPPY Bunny, he was zooming around the boxes of decorations and playing under the tree, munching away. Now that the lights and decorations are up, we put the Bunny Fence up around the tree, blocking off access to the delicious and fun new toy. Apparently, this was frowned apon, and along the fence Pitters PEED! little bugger.

I was worried about Isabella recently b/c I found she I never saw her awake. I was concerned it was to cold in the basement where she was living, and moved her upstairs to the main area of our house where it is warmer and I could monitor her. I have found her sleeping/playing pattern very different. She's up early in the am a little, but up later in the evening more, but only for 20-30 mins at a time, then naps, then get's up again. She looks good and healthy, still active but this on adn off activity seems a bit odd to me, as I don't remember my other dwarfs having a small periods of activity ona dn off like this.

UTI's SUCK! For people and animals. I've had hamster and even Bunnies with UTI and both cleared up just fine. Blood in the urine can be other more crappy things like tumors, crystals/stones as well, but the majority is just an infection.

Civic

Civic my very old and very last Gerbil passed away last week while I was on vacation. I sort of expected it as he was looking pretty crummy, we believe he may have had cancer as he had a constant swollen paw/leg.
Civic was probably 3+ years old, a Burmese I got from a friend for my Birthday. Civic came to me with his brother Honda a pied burmese, who passed away over a year ago.
Civic loved Peanuts and Sunflower seeds. Whenever I gave the Degus their Peanut treat, Civic came out of his house waiting for one too.
So I am gerbil-less now, and totaly ok with it. I'm not going to be taking in any new gerbils anytime soon.
Rest in peace Civic, you were a good gerbil. Run free and healthy with the rest of the gang over the bridge.

For a help with diet, have you tried adding some critical care to his feed? That would sure help make sure he's getting all the vitamins and minerals he needs if he's having issues eating certain items in his diet. Theeth breaking are soemthing that just happends with these critters who's teeth keep growing. Bruce had an issue a last summer with overgorwn bottom teeth and minimal top ones. I had one hamster who's tooth curled inside his mouth making it hard to see he had an issue

is Spot older? I had an older deaf gerbil who was an amazing 'Dad' to two small male pups. He lived out his days caring for them.

Yeah, I've only seen a couple pictures, adn a breeders site I was looking at went into the colours in detail, and mentioned the Tri's were not considered 'correct' and could not be showen. To bad, I think they are stunning, but then i love Tri colours with white, more colour the better to me LOL
(Also notice they sorta have a 'Whizz' look to them too? I think that may have been what made us more interested in the breed)

I like the Black & Whites, but Ryan does not. I also like the tri coloured even though they are a fault and could never be shown, I think they are beautiful.
