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.
