First off, you may not have a Pearl and/or a Cream (Argente or Ivory?) Did someone tell you these are their colors? Or did you buy them from a pet store and that's what they said?
I honestly don't see how such a pairing would come up with only Golden Agoutis, so perhaps one or the other is not what you think it to be. Double check your colors: http://home.wtal.de/ehr/gerbils/colors.htm And then plug them into the genetic predictor to find you what you'll get. http://netxp.com/rick/gerbils/genetics.html From what I understand, Pearl is pretty rare, mainly because they carry two cb genes AND the ever illusive gg pairing. If you cannot tell from the color palette, try writing down a complete description of them, and ask those on the list to see if they can help. Hope that helps a little. -Jackie & The Copper Dragon Clan >Hello! > >I am wanting to know the genetics behind a Pearl gerbil can anyone help me? >Also I have mated my Pearl to an Cream and all the litter were Agoutis.
