Coco Pam Thompson, I Love My Gerbil of Yorkville, Illinois Such a precious gerbil! I love the way the artificial leaves subtly/half-frame, the whole gerbil in the jack-o-lantern. The picture shouts Halloween and Autumn! I love how the soft, subtle reds, red-oranges, and light yellows blend in with the soft, warm background color. |

Candid Erik, Riley and Spot Diane Nott, Heavenly Heart Gerbilry, Elyria Ohio This picture makes me break out in a wide grin! I love it when gerbils are so relaxed, they feel trusting enough to sleep stretched out like that. The orange shape brings our eye to the sweet, sleeping boys, so comfortable in their bedding! |

Educational AccradeMorue du Mérione Merveilleux Fanny van Rysselberghe, Le Mérione Merveilleux, Cartelègue, France Duprasi (fat tailed gerbils) are adorable! Most people aren't familiar with them; or know that they, though different in look from Mongolian gerbils, are, indeed, gerbils! They were originally found in the Northern Sahara (North-western Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, and Algeria). |

William Rumiko Küllsen, Waterfield Germany just adore this one! It makes me break out in a HUGE smile. Adorable gerbil! That face! Those whiskers! That sweet mouth! I like the subtle, off center focal point. Wonderful how the face, treat, and fingers are in sharp focus, with the rest of the gerbil's body in a subtle soft focus. This one makes me smile! Adorable beyond words! |
