But in my defence I was five and I couldn't tell the difference between hamsters and gerbils, and hamster was easier to pronounce.
...They parents never told me he was a gerbil until I was 12 :tongue:
Wait, so your gerbil lived for 7 years?
Or you mean you were randomly talking about it when you were 12 and they told you?
My first pet of my very own, was several fish called Comets, which my grandad gave me from his pond. They're white with red patches all over them. I don't ever remember naming them though... and then we got 2 white mice from my uncle, which we called Tom & Jerry. But Tom used to bite so we gave them to my neighbour.
