I am not a small animal person, as I can be too rough for them. They looks fragile to me, just like I can kill them with a slap. But one day, Elaine and me went to Hun (Crazymouse_yyh) house, and she offer me two Mongolian Gerbil, with Elaine ‘sataying’ beside, I agree to keep two of them. After the pups are weaned from their mummies, I went and bring them home.
Again I start joining The Gerbil Forum in USA, follow by eGerbil Forum from UK. I posted up happily, introducing to everyone about my Gerbils, with their names, age and colors. But the members in the forum said I had wrongly tell the colors of my gerbils, I was so frustration with them, because I though Hun (crazymouse_yyh) should know the color for sure, as she had keeping them sometime. Trying very hard to argue with the members in the forum, but same time I start to dig information from the net. Oooppss… I found that I was wrong.
After done some reading, I know this rodent rarely bite, and they wouldn’t be stink like others in the rodents’ family. The first though come into my mind is, this would be a good pets for young children. And WAWW I found that there are a huge range of colors available in Mongolian Gerbil. With the only two in my hand, a nutmeg and spotted agouti, I can not do anything.
After I join the two Gerbil forum from USA and UK, I join the Pets Forum in Singapore too, and there are more colors available in Singapore. I got my first pair of RUBY eyes gerbils, I bring in thress Ruby Eyed Gerbils from Singapore, one Pink Eyed White female (Biko), one Lilac male (Bili) for myself. And I decided to bring in one Lilac female for Hun (crazymouse_yyh) for her Christmas present, because she does not have any ruby eyes too.
After sometime, she told me that, she has a good friend who also like Mongolian Gerbil and she is a responsible good owner. And Hun decided to pass the Lilac (Pecan), with an other Dark Eyed Honey male to her friend.
The world is round, I met a gerbil’s owner from Malaysia in The Gerbil Forum USA, and she has a Lilac female!! There I know she is Hun’s friend, Jas (jaswwp) who take the Lilac female. Both of us cannot help ourselves, we fall into the gerbil genetic graveyard. Night and day, our life is surround by Aa Cch Dd Ee Gg Pp. Calculating all the possibility pups color we can get from out breeding plan. We realize things on our hand are still very limited. We decide to bring in some Ch and g gene. We brought in four gerbils, two Pink Eyed White and two Ruby Eyed White.
From here Jas (jaswwp) and I start our projects, a lot of calculations, a lot of reading, a lot of print out, a lot of papers. We don’t allow ourselves to wrongly pair any of them, as finding a home is not an easy job. From here, we get all the colors we want and we get a few of pied too.
One day, Hun (crazymouse_yyh) called me up. ‘I was a red eyed gerbil here, its very orange, but I am not sure is it Argente?’ , after asking and confirmed with her there is no grey undercoat, YEAH!! She found a Red Fox!!!! An other new line, but I didn’t join the line, as I still prefer the Grey Agouti.
