Well, it depends where you're located and what kind of experience you have with gerbils. Gerbillus, like the cheesemans, require more experienced keepers, due to their small size and delicativity.Not only that, but they're not exactly widespread, and finding a reputable breeder is difficult. As for the bushy- tailed (jirds, you've put gerbil up there ), again, difficult diet for newbies, plus difficult to find breeders. To be honest your best bet would be to get two mongolian gerbils, they're the easiest to care for and don't require any special treatment, plus they're pretty widespread. (oh and btw, please don't double post )

Methinks you mean Silver Nutmeg. Colors are up to personal preference and what is available in your area. There's no real difference in behavior/care requirements between the colors.

Silver chesnut ;D
Color don't really matter if they are just going to be pets, but if you want to become serious in showing and breeding color is important. So, Whether you get an Agouti or a Schimmel, they will still be excellent pets!
