What fur colour is this? (gerbil)

[Gazmo]

I adopted apricot when she was a baby baby as my boyfriends gerbil had babys.
her mums grey, her dads a black eyed albino

However, shes white with an orange tint on her back?
ive went though all the gerbil colours on the internet and cant find one like her!
what do you think she is?

She looks young, she will probably loose this as she grows.

ahh ok, its more prominent that you can see in the pics, she didn't have it when she was born, she grew into it, its weird. there are pure white ones in her litter too. yeah shes only a bit over a month old

Are her eyes red or black? Its hard to tell and what colour tail? If the eyes are black I would say she is a honey cream (spotted light DEH) which you will see on here http://www.thegerbils.com/colors1.ht . I have a honey pied and the orange in his coat gets darker the older he gets

It's quite hard to be able to tell, is the tail darker?

[Gazmo]

she has red eyes, and her tails white, its so confusing

It's really hard to see in the pictures but she looks apricot or white bellied cream to me. I'm siding towards apricot but I can't tell if that's just the lighting making her belly line look higher. What colour were the parents and other babies? That might give a better clue to the possibilities.

Ok, well her mother, Rigby, was grey
Her dad, Pinky, was a red eyed white
the mothers sister, Rusty, was orange, and also had a litter with pinky

Rigbys litter had 3 like the gerbil in the picture and 5 grey
Rustys litter had 1 like the picture, 2 dove, one red eyed white, one orange.


Im thinking maybe shes apricot, but I cant find pics of the colour to compair

[Gazmo]

This is a bit better

Perhaps join the gerbilproboards forum and ask on there?
