Re: Slate CWS?????

[Elizabeth]

CWS probably stands for Canadian White Spot a kind of out of date name for the white spotting in gerbils. More likely she is a black spot than a slate spot, since the gene for slate is stilly pretty rare in the US, altho it's not entirely impossible. (Tho unless you have a black spot to compare with I would go with black.)   Elizabeth ----- Original Message ----- From: Lauren Bowman To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 22, 2001 5:27 PM Subject: Slate CWS????? One of my gerbils, Matilda or Tilly is slate and white.  On a website i read and saw a picture and it fits her discription as a Slate CWS?  What does CWS stand for?  She has a white star on her head...and white band along her chest,  Thanks for your help.   Lauren "I'm an angel, honest!
