This Too Shall Pass But Like Holy Fuck

Does anyone got any tips on how to take care of a gerbil?

One came up to my sister and I while we were checking the mail, it's very friendly, not scared of our dog at all crawled right onto her nose 😂, clean and clearly was someone's pet

It's the winter and we didn't feel comfortable leaving her out there in the cold so we took her with us and sent word out that we have her with our contact info

Now it's just a waiting game to see if someone will claim her or if we're keeping her. Because this wasn't planned at all we're at a bit of a loss

We went out and got her what google said we needed for her, like obviously we got a cage, food, and water. We got her a wheel and a little house thing she can hide in, some treats and toys she can chew on and some hay

Does anyone know of anything else we may need? I want her to be as happy and healthy as possible.

Please be nice, we knew it's not great to get a pet before doing research on them and how to properly take care of them but it was either take her in or let her die 😭

That part

Me watching the Olympics, not knowing the name of most disciplines, let alone the rules, because overall I'm just very invested in watching people try hard and cheering for them if they seem nice or smth

Man: Hey, want a ride? I'm heading that way anyway!

Me, a female presenting person walking home: No thanks, I do wanna get murdered or worse

Man: ...What..😨

Me: I didn't mean to say that last part out loud

Man: Okay... Have a nice day...

Me: Thanks!! You too!! *continues walking*

My lack of filter is either saving my life or murdering me. This happens outside a 7/11 btw
