I know a person who runs a rescue and we talk about the three brought in who bite. Each is in a seperate cage and not from the same person. I'm sure those of you who rescue can understand the variable situations some of these animals have had to face. And people who do not tell the whole truth when relinquishing animals to your care. :hair:
My CL gerbil is a classic case. My poor daughter was bit right away. She was crushed. And I was angry.( the woman never said a word about his bad behavior ) He came off CL and I feel no one would want him.( and too dangerous for a child) Thus he can spend his days with us. I have managed to be able to run a finger over him when I give him his food bowl. I guess that's better then nothing. Otherwise its the glove . ( chuckles to self) In the end I purchased two gerbil girl babies and my daughter can now love all over them.
But getting back to the subject. Are there people out there who take on the stinker chins? I know the person running the rescue would like to find homes for them. But she won't adopt them out for fear they would hurt someone. Any thoughts?
BTW: She is going to be going to the York show so I know she could transport them to anyone willing to take on a challange. And for that fact if anyone would love a handsome gerbil single male I would be glad to adopt out a biter. Adult only. I don't have a problem having him live his life out here. He has a secure home even if he is a biter.
