DOES IT MAKE? A gerbil's a gerbil and no matter its color, it's still able to be a
good pet. I'm very tired of watching people advertise for a given color to breed with
"my beautiful so-and-so gerbil". That's fine and all...if you don't get so worked up
over colors that you forget you're talking about a living critter and bringing even
more living critters into the world.
I like nifty colors as much as the next rodent enthusiast, but I won't go nutso over
acquiring a certain color. After all, for all I know, if I do get a color I want, the
animal wearing it might not be a very nice one...<--
