All this talk of genetics and color makes us feel as though we were in the
middle of a "Who'es on First" routine. We have two grey females that fit the
general description below except Cottonblossum has red eyes while Pewter has
black ones. ???? We *thought* they were doves but now are hopelessly
confused. BTW can anyone recomend a good site or book that explains gerbil
genetics in precise and plain speech?
