Yes, but no one has discovered, or at least confirmed, that particular
mutation. Since we get an albino-looking mutation that requires two
recessives on two different gene loci [ppc(h)c(h)], it would take very,
very careful breeding on the part of someone to confirm it was an actual cc
gerbil.

There is a Blue gerbil, but they have not been released for breeding as
there seem to be some other problems associated with that color.
