The cats were away while this gerbil played. Here is little Yuki (or Shiro), one of the indistinguishable white gerbils we adopted over a year ago. 

Sadly, one of them died of a stroke (as gerbils are prone to do) a few months ago. We never did figure out which one it was...so the remaining gerbil gets called both names.

He eats all the treats: popcorn kernels, butternut squash seeds, baby carrots, chia seeds, and raw almonds. Shiro/Yuki particularly enjoys sunflower seeds.
