Two More Casualties

I really can't think it's us at this point. There must be something wrong with animals that come from pet stores. The bird and the gerbil both kicked the bucket this week, only hours apart from each other. It has only been a little over 3mths since we got them. I swear we feed, clean their cages, and give them water. We don't over handle them, they are in quiet places in our house. It must not be us. Our guinea pig is now over four years old and we got her from a family, not a pet store. So at this point it must be the stores fault, bad breeding or what have you. We are so done store bought critters. It's actually kind of a relief, two less animals for me to take care of while Kale is gone. Although I really wish it hadn't turned out this way.
