===Overview===
===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 Gerbil Colour Palette" which is a website made in conjunction with the National Gerbil Society in the UK. Please see http://home.wtal.de/ehr/gerbils/colors.htm for further details.

===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.
