So, many of you may be wondering what color your gerbil is...? Here are the basic colors for Mongolian gerbils. There are variations that may not be shown. For example, your gerbil might be a little darker or lighter, and that could be due to a gene that it may/may not carry. This is just to give you the basic ideas. If you have further questions, or you think your gerbils' color isn't here, then you can post a picture in the genetics section, or you can PM one of us to help you out!
