waw nice nice.. hey show tummy ler.. hahahha....

can see the middle one darker.. i think the mama carry ch... so light color.

help....bulu gerbil can gugur ke? when i was checking mine the hair gugur la...huhuhu....

Can, but if a lot then there's a problem.

how 2 know its a lot?? what prob eh? can solve eh??

Until there's a hairless patch, might be mites or overgrooming.

OH yah wor... forgot about taking tummy pics hahaha.... ok , will do that tomorrow.

Yah, Cookie got Ch, her dad is Silver, the Dove.

Gerbils do drop hair... shedding lah... alot would be dropping their fur till botak. So as long your gerbils don't go bald, then no worries.

Sometimes tails can be half bald.... this is from overgrooming by another gerbil. I have finally captured the gerbil red handed! It's Latte, my agouti. Hahaha... he groom all the other gerbils tails till half botak, but only his tail is nice and full of fur. Evil gerbil.

crazymouse ... u u u u u making me going crazy over the pups now ... cham cham ... must control ... must control ....

Nope, Toffee's tail is good as new, only Snowie's has a patch gone

The colour I can think of if wanna breed out yellow fox again is to breed it with a nutmeg that carries the recessive red eye gene. The thing is that it's hard to find and know which is a nutmeg with Pp if you do not get from breeder lah.

Actually, I do have a nutmeg with Pp, the babies that I posted... but by the time it matures, I think your yellow fox is too old to breed already.

gerbils going to space!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wooooooooo
sry if this is a repeated news!!

Russia blasts gerbils into space

Gerbils are more suited than most rodents for space flight

The Russian space agency has blasted ten gerbils into space for a 12-day mission to test the possible effects on humans of a flight to Mars.

The small mammals, similar to mice and rats, are being kept in special cages with a supply of nuts and cereals.

Day and night will be simulated and special machines will clean their excrement in the weightless conditions.

The gerbils may find space preferable to returning to Earth - several are to be dissected upon their return.

The furry rodents lifted off from the Russian-run Baikonur space centre in Kazakhstan on Friday in a Soyuz rocket.

Gerbils are probably more suited than most rodents for space flight because they conserve body fluids by producing a minimum of waste.

The 10 are all sand rodents, praised as "a very interesting object for research" because they "can live for more than a month without using liquids," said Anatoly Grogoryev of the Russian Academy of Science.

"This will enable scientists to determine salt exchange mechanisms in zero gravity conditions."

Gerbils, as many pet owners have discovered, are gregarious and active in daylight, which makes them easy to observe.

The ten gerbils will be filmed during their space flight.
