The Scottish SPCA in Dundee is encouraging rodent lovers in Tayside to consider rehoming some of the many gerbils in its care.
Staff at the charity’s Petterden centre are currently looking after 11 adult gerbils and would-be owners are being invited along to meet them.
Assistant centre manager Dale Christie said, “We have lots of lovely little gerbils in our care at the moment and we’re keen to find them fantastic new homes as soon as we can.
“Ideally we’d like our gerbils to be rehomed in small same-sex groups or pairs as they are sociable creatures who enjoy the company of their own kind.
“Some of our gerbils are confident and easy to handle, while we have others who are in need of more human interaction to help them feel more comfortable.
“With regular contact from their owners we have no doubt they’ll make great pets and provide their owners with hours of fun.
“We'd love to hear from anyone who can give one of our gerbils the second chance they deserve.”
Anyone interested in offering a pair or small group of gerbils a home can call the Scottish SPCA Animal Helpline on 03000 999 999 and ask to be connected to the Petterden centre.
