Hi
In cavies you get tort and white boars and sows, I
wonder if these gene might pop up in gerbils rather
than one like in cats, where almost 100% are females
and the odd few males that are born are often
infertile anyway.

get it in a cat, so it will be a long time before we
see it in a gerbil I assume
