Field Notes

Description:

My geriatric male gerbil, Jorge. I've had him for nearly three years, and he was adult when he was given to me.

Jorge is missing one lower incisor due to old age, the tip of his tail, and the toes on one hind foot- from an unfortunate accident.

Eating is now difficult without all his teeth- so I must give him small bits, and keep his teeth trimmed. Poor guy!
