London, England (BANG) - Brad Pitt has spent $82,000 on a home for his children's gerbils. The "Fight Club" actor - who raises six kids, Maddox, eight, Pax, five, Zahara, four, Shiloh, three, and 13-month-old twins Knox and Vivienne, with partner Angelina Jolie - oversaw the construction and design of the project, which boasts tunnels, platforms, seesaws and mazes.
A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Brad pores over architectural journals like other people pore over newspapers. He had so much fun putting the run together with his kids Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh and Pax."
"It's incredibly complex and cost a lot but Brad's more than happy with any activity that can combine his two passions - his kids and architecture."
The rodents - who will live at the family's mansion in the South of France - were chosen by Maddox and Pax after their parents took them to a local pet store last week.
An onlooker said: "The boys were really keen to get the gerbils and it was Angelina who reached into the cage to pet them before a store worker got them out."
One or two poor children could live in that maze.

He can have it for free... *SNORT*
Well aquariums that filled the room except for a walkway. Kind of like the tourist trap aquariums that started getting built in the 90s, only I had this idea in the 80s.
I wonder if that’s tax payer funded through his new orleans project?
‘Pores’? He sweats over them?
It’s his money. At least he’s not spending $80,000 on drugs and other women. Or men.
Sounds like a fun project actually. The kids must love it.
It is his money, but this is no way to teach children the value of a dollar.
But, but, but.... what about all the pooooor chilllun in the Amerika that could have their lives improved instead of building an 80k home for a GERBIL??! Why, I thought BP was a GOOD lib!!
Oh, I forgot... libs want to spend Other People’s Money (taxes)to help the poor. It’s a well known fact that libs don’t donate to charity on par with conservatives.
Loved the analogy with big pharma... at least big pharma saves lives to make all that money... BP and his ilk just (supposedly) entertain to make millions!! Where’s the outcry!
Must be nice to have that kind of disposable income.
Our gerbils stunk much less than the hamsters.
And they are only really friendly if hand raised from birth.
I raised them as a kid and anyone who got a couple had great pets.
That being said, the new hybrids are biters and the hamsters we had were the most darling little rodents ever. They are now on to their rewards but there is nothing better than hand feeding Lucky Charms to a happy hamster.
I had hamsters and it didn’t end well.
And THESE people are influencing Politics with their obsolesce?
Wonder if Richard Gere with try and UP the stakes on this one!
I dunno. Vermin for pets? I spend a good deal of my time trying to rid my farm of the critters.
I just don’t get it. But, I don’t understand ‘bird people’ either. Or my own mother who is obsessed with model trains. *SHRUG*
(But, hands off my books, my music collection, my yarn and my fabric, LOL!)
Also just like Richard Gere colon
LOL! There was time when I’d go see a movie just because his face was in it.
That Brad Pitt is a looker. Too bad he is as looney as a bedbug.
