Gerbilover's Lair

Here in the SnowClan, pairs are made as a hatcling. Within becoming sentient, the new hatchlings are set into the field, supervised by the watchers and the hatchlings are paired based on opposite gender friends they make. They live together for a week or so in the field and the watchers determine if they are a compatible or not. If no pairing is made during this time, there is another pairing time when they reach maturity.
