Hi Everyone,
Would anyone here possibly know if it is possible for Gerbils to
become diseased from breeding? My friend and I are planning to breed when we become more experienced. If so, what would a black F crossed with a Slate 'n' white M be? THANX

You'd likely get 50% black and 50% slate spotted/pied.

I've never heard of gerbils getting sick from breeding, but you may sometimes want to split the male and female with a divider, so she isn't *constantly* pregnant. Continual pregnancies *can* run a gerbil mom down and sometimes she just needs a break from all the little fuzzies ;D.
