hi.. i am new here. always went to malaysia gerbil forum.. but its dead d.. huhu.
luckily found out bout lowyat.NET
i bought my pair at MV.. agouti.. seperate occasion. doesnt want to buy siblings..
bought one male in October 2007, female in end of December 2007.
they r so cute!! friendly n active!!
the male agouti is much darker n his belly has some yellow fur, but the female agouti is
much lighter n belly is pure white. got variation of agouti eh?
saw them mate on 5th march. start counting. on 20th march, 7 babies.. so 26days pregnant.
in two days, 2pups went bye2.
huhu. maybe didnt get milk from mummy. 
now at age of 25days, much like mini gerbils d. 5 babies. 4 agouti 1 black with white stripe under his
neck. n i am sure the black is not black, i blow his fur, n seems like grey more to black.. what colour actually?
btw black is male, n 3 of agouti is male too. so just 1 agouti is female. (is this normal?)
i am using a 1.5feet plastic aquarium [saw those recommended at malaysia gerbil forum]
my question are : where can i get these? [cheapest, pls with location n price k, thanks]
1 ) a 2feet plastic aquarium?
2 ) coconut shell?
3 ) good size wheel?
4 ) accesories like wooden toys : house, block etc?
n my last request is : since i have a black n 5 agoutis, wanna bring more colour to my clan...
1 ) any recommendation on what colour shud i breed to my clan?
Male (? colour) + Female (Agouti) = ? colours produced?
or
Male (Agouti) + Female (? colour) = ? colours produced?
or
Male (Black) + Female (? colour) = ? colours produced?
p/s : help me with the possibilities k!! Thanks n looking forward for u to share ur experiences...
* I am very curious bout genetics! haha. but no one to lead me..
help me nezunezu, crazymouse, babymoli n others!
2 ) how to produce DEH? (can i get one? lilac, dove? argente)
3 ) spot variation? from male or female or both with sp gene?
Am so curious!! Please help k...
Abg brother : u stay in kuching?
thought of getting one of ur DEH baby...

got the good news frm my trusted friend who helps with caring for my gerbils! haha
k la, please reply k... do hope to see some comments n suggestions here..
All agoutis have white fur for their bellies. If the fur of the body and belly is the same colour, then that is a nutmeg. If not, then maybe your gerbil got alot of staining.luckily found out bout lowyat.NET

About wheels, no wheels in Malaysia are good enough for gerbils. So best not to have. Is either they get hurt or die from metal poisoning.
Your black is a normal black.
I think you may have 1 agouti and 1 nutmeg coz you are getting a black. So your agouti has Aa gene. But you can also get black if both agoutis have Aa gene. Look carefully or take a picture now.
You can only get a DEH if your agouti is Aa and Ee carrier.... if not, you won't get it at all.
For spot, you need 1 gerbil to be spot coz it is dominant and if bred with a non-spotted, can get spotted pups, about 25% to 50% of the pups would be spotted.
If you can't understand the genetic codes I have posted, then Google for mongolian gerbil colour genetics. Study the code to know.
For the time being, I have stopped breeding gerbils as my gene pool is getting small.
