We have officially had Carrot for 2 months now. And the girls are still crazy about him! They beg multiple times a day to "check on Carrot." Especially Julia! He really is a sweet little gerbil and I love him, too! Olivia has gotten really good at holding him and caring for him. Julia loves to pet him, feed him, and give him fresh water, but does not like to hold him. I still feel so bad that he doesn't have a buddy, but he seems very happy and content.
