Nutmeg
Gerbil Breeding & Genetics
(aa, CC, ee, G*, P*)
By Molly Kalafut
Nutmeg is one of my favorite gerbil colors. As babies they
start out a lovely golden color, then molt into a dark golden with black tipped
fur. Throughout their lives, as they continue to molt visible lines can be seen
where they are halfway lighter and halfway darker. In old age they gradually
molt to a lighter and lighter color.
