Cooper Proof

We finally have a cage that's cat proof and it only cost a small fortune! This whole gerbil thing has turned out to be the Christmas gift that keeps on taking. Pictured below is the new set up. It's got a wheel that's attached to the side like a separate room and a cool lookout tower. (Is it me or is it totally freaky that a four-legged animal can climb a vertical tube like that?) It's also got places where, if we want to spend even more money, we can hook up really awesome attachments like a ball that the gerbils can get inside and roll around on a track. The possibilities are endless! In fact, once we get enough stuff we're going to be like that '70s horror movie, Ben, in which this guy starts out with one pet rat and ends up with about a million rats living in his basement, making all kinds of demands on his time and killing people and stuff.

Actually, do me a favor. If you ever hear me refer to "The Gerbil Commune" and/or the very day we buy the ball on the track, please take the gerbils away. Thank you.
