Gerbil Wars

The kids have off from school today and tomorrow. Momoko decided to bring the gerbils from her class home for the long weekend. Kit Kat was excited. Little Kat and Momoko see the school gerbils every day. But Kit Kat and I see them every few months.

Kit Kat played with the gerbils for most of the night and afternoon. I had to go to sleep early because a plumber was scheduled to call early the next morning. Momoko stayed up to watch TV or play some games. I was surprised in the morning. Momoko had not come to bed. When I came downstairs, she told me the two youngest gerbils had been fighting all night. Momoko had to separate them and supervise.

This is strange because the gerbils have lived togehter in peace for most of their lives. Was it the extra attention from Kit Kat driving them wild>? Or maybe it was hte new smaller cage at home that had them off their game. We might have to keep these gerbils separate until things calm down.
