Overview
There are approximately 90 species of gerbil but most kept as pets are either a Mongolian Gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus) or a derivative of a Mongolian. Therefore the examples included below are not strictly breeds but more of a selection of colours/types that are most commonly encountered. The selection has been derived from "The Gerbils" website at http://thegerbils.com/colors1.htm. Further information can also be found at the UK National Gerbil Society at http://www.gerbils.co.uk/.
Agouti Colours
- Usually have a white belly and tri-coloured hairs. Usually grey near the skin followed by a yellow band and a black ticking at the furthest end of the hair. Eyes are usually black.
