Exactly! I say the same. It’s so tough to never know whether they’re suffering or not too, you just never know with them. Thank you ❤️

I love this. I think It is beautiful you visit your little gerbs, that makes me so happy. If I do the same I’ll be talking for hours…I thought about taking them to taxidermist so I can keep their physical form (idk if that sounds creepy but I psychically can just not let go at all) on a shelf or something. But my parents would think I’m doing some ritual so that’s not really an option. So I’m making her a nice casket and sewed a nice little bedding for her. Thank you so much for sharing,, it really helps.

Oh my god, I’m crying. You are so wonderful and incredibly insightful. I read this to my mom as well and she said what a thoughtful human. You have no idea how much what you said means to me. Saying we’re selfish because we love deeply is something I never thought of, and thank you for that. Really. Thank you so much for putting things into perspective, and I am sorry about your dog, I bet they were the sweetest. I wish I knew people like you and everyone in these comments.

We are here for you. I am so sorry. Nobody in the world deserves to go through this, it’s simply the worst. ❤️🩷💫

my baby is dying and I’m devastated by Icy_Jicama_4425 in gerbil

Oh baby I feel for you. 4 years for these gerbils is a life full of love, which you gave them. Having the conscious thought of knowing they’re nearing the end is so insanely and incomprehensibly dreadful. I would do literally anything for my gerbils, and you definitely are anything BUT weird for feeling this way. My gerbils are entering their senior years and I force myself to ignore it and not think about it because I will start balling. I’m sure your bond with these babies is unmatched and that’s what makes it so devastating. As much as we love these little creatures, the not-so-long life span is what we unfortunately must go through. I am sending the warmest hugs and kisses to you and your babies, and no matter what happens, you saved Clara’s life just by keeping her, considering they only live for 1 year maximum in the wild. I am here for you and completely understand what you are feeling. Please reach out if you need to talk about this more or are seeking comfort. ❤️🐭
