Gerbil families and/or breeders
(FYI I consider anyone who has litters, even if it's only from one pair, a breeder. They do not necessarily have bunches of colors = )
Pierre's Nest (Rick = breeder) - a really cute page that is also a sort of gerbil-family-oriented site. Located in Canada (Quebec?), Rick has black and I think soon agoutis and lilacs, maybe other stuff, who knows.
These are my pets. - G's page tells about his gerbils, and some neat ideas for things you can make for your own gerbils. Nice pics too = ) G is located in New York. He usually gives his babies to pet stores but I seriously doubt he's against finding them happy homes himself! He has black & black pieds carrying Ee (some carrying Pp also), nutmegs, and he's certainly hoping for some lilac and red fox. His pairs are red fox x black pied and black pied (carrying "e") x nutmeg pied. Cute photos here too!
Mindy's Gerbils - My friend Mindy finally has her own page for her gerbils! = ) Some nice pictures ;) Mindy is located in New Jersey and has lots of colors. I got my schimmel & champagne from her. She has blacks (carrying lots of recessives), agoutis (same as the blacks), grey agouti, ivory cream, and some schimmel and champagne. She plans to get another pair soon, possibly colorpoints or "16 color pair", because 2 of hers have recently passed on = (
Kitt's Page - Kitt used to have lots of gerbils, in every color imaginable (except green, she's still working on that ;) To list them would be to doom myself to typing forever. Better, go to her page. She has pics, too! However she no longer owns gerbils =(
Small Mammals as Pets - Jessica (of Arizona) has a page with info about her gerbils that she breeds, her pet rabbits, and some pets she wants. She has blacks and agoutis, some carrying "p" and "c(h)", and will soon integrate her Dark Eyed Honey into her family to get some of those.
Jessi, Paul and Leto - This page contains nice pictures of the 3 gerbils, though, I don't understand German! However, it can be translated at AltaVista. Apparently, Jessi has had a litter of adorable babies! They're black, lilac, argente, and agouti. However, unless you live in Europe I don't know that you could adopt one = ) But the pics are worth the click.
NEW URL The Little Rascals - the home of two of the gerbils I bred, their mates, and their kiddies = ) Tana Lyman, their owner, gives her babies lots of TLC. She's located in Oklahoma. Currently breeding blacks that carry c(b) or c(h) and possibly some sapphires and doves = )
Kelly Christenson has many, many lovely gerbils in all sorts of colors. She sent me Dana (siamese ), Fox (dark tailed white), Riven (grey agouti patched), and Lucy (DEH? patched). Has just about every color imaginable. Located in Sheboygan, Wisconsin.
Kate's Gerbils - this is Kate's page for her gerbils. It is very nicely put together, and has photos on it, too. She breeds blacks and lilacs in pieds/spots, has a lilac x white pair that will give her who knows what (so far), and a siamese x siamese pair to give her burmese, siamese, and DTW (some ultra-darks too, in my understanding). Those 2 are the brother and sister of my Dana = )
