My friend wants to give her mouse she has had for a year for a gerbil. I think that is not loving to give a pet away for no reason other than that she wants somthing better (In her mind). She has told me she loves her mouse more than one time.

sad. but you can't make someone see anything. but you can be open and honest with her not only how this affects you but how is this showing love for her mouse (that she says she has). and what will happen once she gets tired of the gerbil, dump that one too? really, why can't she have both? or maybe she should have neither if she is not willing to be responsible.

Will the mouse be going to a good home? Will she be good to the gerbil? If both answers are yes, then it's really okay. As long as the mouse has a good home, it should be happy. They don't get bonded as much as some other animals.

If she has her mind made up you probably can't. But tell her that you think that if she loves her mouse she should keep it instead of trading it off for something else.
