Oh my... 48 gerbils up for adoption. Guess Hun needs to take longer time to re-home them.

ya.. all tiny tiny ones. Normal agoutis only. (as usual)

Huh? Agouti? I saw other colors wor last Saturday.

How much they selling?

yes ah? maybe i didn't notice. Selling at RM28 each if I'm not mistaken.

ya, the 2 owner need to learn their lesson....
i will help adoption as much as i can lo, see whether me here got space or not...
eventually my gerbs will follow trough my life, hard for me to give out or wat... cause they are my babies... hehe...
my parents every time come to my place here keep on nagging me, ask me duwan keep and give to other ppl, i jus duwan, hehe...

who 2 owner? I'm confused? you mean someone just allow the gerbils to breed without control?

The 2 owners that they gave up their gerbils for adoption to Hun. I want to try to successfully breed every color gerbil available in malaysia. Hopefully u guys can give me a tip or 2.

One and most important tip, learn the genes.

Pet Family has 2 Argentes and 2 lilacs.... but they are very skinny and jumpy.... body size quite small. RM28, just saw them just now.

Sure sure. Once I get them, will put some pictures up for adoption.

48 of those I won't keep loh... hahaha... can really really pengsan... I just help rehome.

Yah, really need them to go to good home loh..... If the males not that many, I may ask the vet I know to help me neuter them hahahah.... see how lah. Then at least there won't be anymore breedings.

2 owners gave up liao, don't want to keep gerbils anymore.. so all also passed to me. Some people lah, never control breeding, then they breed and breed and breed.... till got problem them don't want liao.

Yea... Agree. Then you need to think the way to re-home them before you really start breeding. Breeding is not an easy task. Not only strengthen the genes & also need to make sure they are healthy.

Vets in Malaysia know how to neuter small animals like gerbils, hamsters, sg etc?

Hahaha, I have the money and time for it. I'm a useless college student who lingers his time playing with pets and watching series.

About the genes, I need you guys to teach me quite alot about it.

Hahah... I know a vet who neutered her hamster and fat tail gerbil.... she gonna neuter my fat tail gerbil also.... but I have to discuss with her if she can do or not lah coz gonna be a few.

Neutering a sugar glider at Dr Yeoh is about Rm200..... LOL.... expensive rite?

Eh if you do that from scratch ar, I think you will produce over 100+ gerbils... since all the colors are available here already why not just buy and adopt? If you want , you should try to produce colors we dont have yet in Malaysia, but have the genes for it..not adding more to colors we already have. Coz in the process, will churn out a lot of ordinary color gerbils that you have to rehome.

You mean colourpoint? I thought you need to import them?

No not colorpoint...but those like grey agouti and slate, got the genes here to breed adi, but so far has not been sucessfully bred out yet coz needs few generation...

Yah, agree that we already can breed out slate and grey agouti.... I will try and focus on Fox variety... hope can successfully breed more yellow, red and hopefully polar fox hahaha... but need REW to do that.

REW= Red eyed white? Got any diff with PEW?

REW eyes are ruby like argente n lilac, PEW eyes are pink
