Gosh, I thought for a moment that you were bashing another forum member.

He's adorable, but he could use a speed-up or two.

Load British.

With that lighting he looks more like an option.

Holy crap

I think he'd get stuck trying to make it through the high speed zone

Or trying to go through a paper towel roll

I thought this was about THE Lord British, which would be a surprise, as Richard Garriott is rather slim.

pfft, pfft... At least around these parts, "THE" Lord British is a vessel of the Latis empire

Hm, yeah, he might want to consider switching from "Force Field" to "Reduce" for his next run-through.

I'll bet that Jade Knight was just off-camera with a bowl of Nutrisystem pellets, rolling her eyes at him for buying the Soloflex wheel to get her off his back and then doing absolutely nothing with it.

Looks like the poor abused thing will be dead in a matter of weeks.

I've not abused him

He just suddenly put on a lot more weight in the past couple of weeks, which couldn't have been helped by his decreased activity. Otherwise, I've taken exactly the same care of them as I have for the past three years.

Dead soon, yes, probably

but... three years is pretty old for them as it is.

His SISTER is in another cage

and Kiken says I already have enough gerbils, nngh...

Yeah, if I could teach gerbils that incest is gross, maybe, but...

I'll get a bunneh next... already got a name picked out and everything

[no, not Usagi or Pom-Pom or even Vic Viper or Falchion Beta]

Turrican · Post by **Turrican** » Wed Jul 30, 2008 12:35 pm

So why he gained weight and Jade didn't? Maybe you should let a doctor see him.

Rather than start a new thread:

I know a couple of you were sort of interested in my gerbils. Well, Lord British finally ran out of extends

I've buried him outside the apartment, which I'm sure someone would've yell at me for doing if they'd caught me doing it. Three years and a month or so old.

Jade Knight's still kicking, for how much longer I don't know. Great at dodging the bullet, that one!

I know how it feels for such a thing to run out of extends...and we're all out of quarters and 100 yen coins, too.

I'm sorry to hear about your hamster dying. I'm also sorry for ininuating it was neglected: when many animals get old, they loose the ability to regulate their body mass as effectively. He was obviously a well cared for pet

Jade Knight is also gone now. Both of us watched her have a heart attack.

Is this just the average lifespan of a gerbil? I had a pet rat at one point and she didn't live more than a couple years. Are gerbils the same?

Post by **BulletMagnet** » Mon Sep 08, 2008 4:23 pm

Sorry for your latest loss - though I do hope you enjoy the rabbit, whenever you're ready to pick him/her up.

Lifespan: 2-5 it says on the net. years I have never known one to live past three though. rodents dont have huge life spans at all.

Rats are awesome pets though. Cheap and a lot of fun.

The title has no ring to it. Change it to "lard ass". Sounds much better.

sorry to hear your lose, may she rest in peace...

but out of curiousity, could you explain to me the whole 'before, during and after' experience when Jade had the heart attack?

CMoon · Post by **CMoon** » Wed Sep 10, 2008 2:09 am

My rat had a heart attack too, which I actually felt since she had curled up on my chest. Sadness
