As a form of comfort, I offer adorable kitten antics.

The way they immediately start breaking these little balls of wood down into fairly equal-size twigs that they pack into their tunnels will never not fascinate me.

I love when the girls dig tunnels along the front of the enclosure so I can watch them do things like eat pumpkin seeds.

I just discovered that Brigid (the brown and white one) chewed almost all the way through one of the legs on the platform their wheel is on.

Reader, she did all of this *just this morning.*

Hello, do you like tiny gerbils doing tiny gerbil things?

When I say the girls were busy today…

this corner of the tank was all packed in bedding when I left this morning.
