Should You Have Multiple Family Computers?

-
       Having multiple laptops in your household is great, especially in times like these when everyone is on the computer 24/7. But there are some bad things about having so many computers. A pro of having multiple computers is that you don’t have to wait for one person to be done with their work day for you to do your school work, or whatever you might do on the computer.

  Gerbils            Gerbils aren’t well known but thats just because they aren’t as common as the hamster, or guinea pig. This is because gerbils aren’t found in many pet stores for kids to look at and ask their ”Mommy” for one, but they are slowly becoming more popular.              Gerbils can eat a wide variety of things. For example their favorite things are sunflower seeds and timothy hay, but they can also eat carrots, cucumber, pumpkin, melon, apple, pear, oranges, and other fruit and veggies. Just make sure you look up if gerbils can eat a certain food before you feed it to them. Things such as grapes, and rhubarb are poisonous to gerbils.
