Yes, she can have pups ;)  The are no true "albino" genes in the gerbil world as of yet. The pink eyes are not connected to albinism at all. She just is carring the genes for pink eyes (pp).
If she had dark eyes one or both of the genes for the eye color would be either Pp (black eyed gerbil with one pink eye recessive) or PP (black eyed gerbil with no recessives). In order to have pink eyes, a gerbil, regardles of their body color, must carry two recessives (pp).

Subject: Could someone tell me?

Can Red Eyed Polar Fox  and Black gerbils have babies if I put them together? The black one is the male and the other one is the female.
I was told as the Red Eyed Polar Fox  was an albino she wouldn't have babies. Can this be possible? Can they have babies?
 
Thanks !
Sonia.
