        <description><![CDATA[I live in Dublin and for the past week I've searched everywhere basically looking for a young (less than 9 weeks old) female gerbil. I've tried the DSPCA and practically every pet shop in and around Dublin. (I've have learned is that female gerbils seem to be impossible to find. Anywhere I have found that sell gerbils only have males :P) Can anyone help me or guide me as to where I can find a young female gerbil?<br /><br />
The reason I want one is to get one as a buddy for my 5 and a half week old female girl. (I got her in my local petshop but she was the last one and I keep checking back there but they don't know when more will be back in)<br /><br />
I want to introduce them while they're young so they would have more of a chance of getting along. (And I'm going to do the split cage separation thing so don't worry I know what I'm doing. I've read up <img src="https://www.boards.ie/resources/emoji/smile.png" title=":)" alt=":)" height="20" /> )<br /><br />
Anyone that could help me would be AWESOME!]]>

        <description><![CDATA[Today I bought a 2mth old gerbil from a pet shop in Dublin to keep company another I bought down the country a week previous. He looked healthy and bright eyed in the shop, but when I got home I found that the little critter is covered with red lice. I've discovered online since that these are blood lice and need to be treated by a vet.<br />
Whilst I wouldn't have any animal suffer, I'm angry because it's money I can ill afford, as I now have to treat two animals. This little fella was also in a group of about 4 others in a cage, in this shop, meaning they also are infested. (There are about 15 other gerbils, not to mention hamsters rabbits etc)<br />
I am lucky, as this new lad gets on with the other (previously healthy) gerbil, who is a bit cranky, so I'd be reluctant to give him back. Besides it's not his fault that he wasn't kept clean.<br />
Any ideas on what to do, or should i approach the shop?<br />
I'm soooo angry!]]>
