Welcome Whiskers Jordan to the family. He is our new baby Meerkat who lives at the Syracuse Zoo, we adopted him last weekend. We pay for his food and any extras he might need and they do the rest. I think it is a very good deal.
Hannah came up with the name Whiskers:) We are still brainstorming for a middle name.
The only stipulation we had was that we adopted a boy so that Wes would not feel like he was surrounded by girls...well he is, the gerbils are even girls. The good thing about Whiskers enclosure is that it is indoors so we can visit year around no matter how much snow we have. Whiskers has 10 brothers and sisters.
We will be getting 5x7 picture of Whiskers in the next few weeks along with a birth certificate, information sheet and progress chart. This was the most logical choice for adding a new member to the family, I have been wanting another baby but can't and all of us girls are allergic to cats, dogs and anything else with fur, so adopting at the zoo was a great option. Plus I don't have to potty train!!!

I think that is very sensitive of you to make sure you got a boy for Wes' sake! And look on the bright side, since it doesn't live at your house, that means that there is one less little animal that you have to clean up after (I'm talking about the gerbils, not the girls!! :)
congratulations on your new baby :)
