Peek, one of library pet gerbils, died on Sunday, November 22. He had lived for two years, the entire time with his brother, Boo. His library family is sad that he is gone, but is glad that he was loved by the children who visited him. Boo will be back on display on Tuesday, November 23. He will be kept in a quiet place to give him a chance to get used to his brother not being around. Gerbils are social animals, so the loss of Peek may make Boo depressed for a while.
Gerbils live 2-3 years.
