Belle's Page
On this page you will get to read all about Belle my gerbil and see some pictures of her playing, eating, and sleeping. She is my little Baby Belle. And no she is not a rat! She is a sweet little gerbil. She weighs 77 grams. She is about 3 years old. She spends most of her time in her cage sitting in the den on the coffee table.
Belle is lying in her cage by her wheel. She likes to get in the corner and scratch and dig.
Belle is at her food bowl. When I went to take the picture she looked up from her bowl. I love to watch her eat and pack her food.
When Belle eats she holds the food with her two front feet and chews and nibbles on it.
Here you can see a little black spot right below her chest. Belle had a sore there that would not heal and kept getting infected. She had laser surgery done the day before this picture was made to kill the infected area. Yes they actually sedated her with a gas and cleaned out the infection. I had to put an antibiotic cream on the area once a day until it healed. It took it about two weeks for it to heal. The glare is from the plastic on her cage.
Here she is looking at me and trying to hide her food dish. You can see her water bottle on the left. She has chewed that thing dearly. I guess I need to purchase her a new water bottle. There is that glare again on the side of her cage.
Sadly Belle died on Tuesday, August 26, 2008. She was 3 years old. I miss her lots. She was good company to have around.
