Pika

This is a pika.  He looks like a gerbil, but he's related to rabbits.  He's very fuzzy.  I think he's very cute and I wish I had a pika.  I would name it Claire.  They eat plants and flowers.  They play with squirrels.   Here's a great video about pikas. 

Matamata turtles

I love Matamata turtles, they are so cool.  I'm going to tell you about them: they are large sedentary (they sit still for long times) turtles with snouts and a flat head.  I saw a stuffed one yesterday at the Field Museum.  Here is a link to more info and a cool photo.

More about gerbils

These are baby gerbils.  They are 11 days old (I got the photo from this site.)  They are very cute.  I love baby gerbils.  We have some gerbils and I hope we will get a boy gerbil so we will have baby gerbils.  I really really really really really really love baby gerbils.

Baby gerbils wean when they are 3 weeks old.  You have to be careful with them, don't clean their cage until they're 10 days old.  It might upset the parents and the baby gerbils won't be happy.  You have to take lots of care for baby gerbils.
