2. Given the number of pathetic gerbils we went through

when my kid was little (I remember especially the one that died of some sort of brain bleed - the cage looked like the St Valentine's Day Massacre), I probably would have appreciated this thing then!

7. Pattern for a guinea pig ornament on this page

This is for a flat one to be made from felt. But it would be too easy to add a gusset to this pattern down the belly to fatten it up to a 3 dimensional critter to stuff and make into a plush toy.

12. I have an almost 6 yr old grandson... but I wonder

What age group do you figure this toy is for?

He's a mild asthmatic, so this might be good. Our son's 9 yr old dog is the only pet/brother for our grandson.
