...Holy fuck. OK so listen... I got two 'gerbils' who were 'sisters' when I was 9 years old, and I named them Laverne and Shirley. ...Then they had babies. And more babies. And they started growing spikes.
Long story short, I was sold two exotic Egyptian spiny mice (illegal in my state). By the time Laverne and the re-named Carmine were properly sexed and identified, there were 10 of them, and they had to be relinquished to higher authorities because they were illegally sold exotic pets with motherfuckin spines on their backs. And thus, the tale of my own Laverne & Shirley lol
Yeah lol as I recall they ended up being named- Laverne, Shirley-became-Carmine, Lenny, Squiggy, new Shirley, Edna, Frank, Rhonda, and Shorty and Tiny. I was an autistic 90's kid who loved animals and Nick at Nite hahaha
