Snap was born about three and a half years ago. He's had a rather fiesty attitude and didn't play well with others, so he got a tank all to himself. He sat by my computer for a long time, and I've spent hours watching him. He was an excellent digger and while he wasn't the sweetest gerbil … he had a very noteable personality.
Well, as of today, Snap is no longer with us. He passed away this morning. He had been in pain and unable to chew or dig for a couple of weeks. He slept most of the time and ate or drank very little. He is survived by his sister, Kinki our last living gerbil.
I'm very sorry about Snap the Gerbil.
