I didn't know what a gerbal even was

We don't have Gerbils in Australia or NZ - but I especially enjoyed the part where one of them showed it's appreciation by eating the tiny chair!!!!

@kenny , these are gold! And thanks for introducing me to that website. As they used to say in old commercials, it looks like hours of fun. May have to download the Shakespeare coloring book

@kenny I just showed this to my dh and he is still laughing out loud. Thanks for the good cheer, we needed it and very much appreciate you sharing this. The Blue Danube video is hysterical. LOVE these gerbils and the couple that went to the trouble to give them a lovely tiny art museum.

This is Miso in the doll house. A real photo bomb!
.

DH made a series of miniature rooms for his photography projects.
He photographs the rooms and then photoshops models in them. The model below is "sitting" in the little satin love seat.

It’s true, you just can’t give gerbils anything nice.

Aww that is not true. Gerbils are super sweet and I love their little communication squeaks. We had gerbils in our family from when I was a little girl to my early teen years. That was a very long time ago lol but I do still remember the love I felt for them. Sweet little gerbils. And don't get me started on guinea pigs. OH I just love them so much too. Their little lips that are so kissable. They are the only rodents with lips. But as usual I digress lol. Sorry.

Oh so kissable. Guinea pigs. Gerbils too but I don't have a photo of our gerbils sadly. It was in the days before cameras I think. LOL JK.

I can’t do gerbils or hamsters...I have a hang up about rodents. But guinea pigs are an exception. My kids have alway had them and they are wonderful pets. My adult autistic son has several. he may have difficulty bonding with people but he bonds easily with animals. His piggies are very spoiled and live in a 3 story condominium, lol. We all love them. Sonya, and Annika (first and third pics) are recent adoptions. Hoshi loves to curl up and fall asleep...shes a great lap piggie. Ezri is a houseguest until her owner gets settled in a new place. My son names all of his piggies after Star Trek characters.

We have two guinea pigs called DJ fat hamster and Sir Squeaks a Lot.... My son lost interest in them years ago my husband and I feed them and he regularly tries to give them away to everyone

 

[LemonMoonLex]

Woah....wth....this just triggered my memory and somehow I remembered that i dreamt of gerbils last night?!?!?!
Its early here!

And that exhibit is friggin adorable!

Does he take stock images of models or does he find them and do shoots with them?
Thats a very interesting project!!

They really are an underrated pet IMO but most people are uninformed. They are social and like their people. They also can live long enough to not be ‘disposable’ pets. My daughters first pair lived 7 & 8 years!! Sir Sqeaks a Lot...that is a fantastic name, lol.

If you lived near us I'd give ours to your son!!! I still talk to them and pat them my husband or I feed them. My son plays with them occasionally but not that often he grew into a teen and really lost interest in them. Hahahah, DJ Fat Hamster has his own song we made up when my son was small, it's a Rap the first lines are;
I'm a Hamster and a Gangster
And I'm FAT
I'm a Hamster and a Gangster
I'll bite your cat....

There are several other lines but I'm sure you get the general ideal

 

[1ofakind]

Oh Ezri would chase their cat. She is sweet but doesn’t get along well with others. It was really funny...poor cat. They’ve never had their own rap songs so maybe not as spoiled as I thought, lol.

My son would probably take yours. He would just have to build another Guiana pig condo.

No stock images!!!!
He is a professional photographer....all his own photos! We know many models who are happy to pose for him.

Thats even better!
Its such an interesting idea, and who wouldnt want to be a doll for once?
I used to model but I haven't in years. I was signed with Ford MM and enjoyed the artistry of it but I didn't enjoy being told to "tone up". When i was 14 I was 5'9" and 112lbs...there wasn't anything to tone.
Anyways not to go on a tangent oddly enough, lately Ive thought bout doing some fun artsy shoots locally. Too bad y'all live up the hill!

Id also love to see you in these! I think every woman should do at least one shoot in their life, where they have control over hair and makeup and feel beautiful!

 

[stracci2000]

@TheGarnetGirl ,here's a cool one. It's the same model posing in both black and white.
The photos were taken in our home studio, and the background and sky are clearly New Mexico!
(Sorry for the thread jack, Kenny!)

And he does fantasy portraits, too.
If only you could come up here, we'd do a shoot!
