Meet Laurel. What an interesting color.

These are issues about a gerbil, not just photos. So they are in this forum, not in Relaxing Rodents.

I posted photos of some rescued pups. Since then, one, Laurel, has been taking on interesting colors: she reminds me of a colorpoint siamese with the ears, nose, legs, and tail, darkening noticeably, but she is not gray; she is what appears to be mostly "golden".

I can't find this apparent color on web site color charts. I expect the colors to be more pronounced in the coming few weeks, and even these photos did not show them that well owing to the strong flash.

So, any thoughts on the color?

wow
interesting
i've never seen anything like her before
i cant help with naming the colour - i'm not too good at that, but just a suggestion - why don't you contact the gerbil society (American or british) send them a pic and ask if they have any idea. she could even be a new colour
very pretty

I just found out she is a nutmeg undergoing her first moult - an interesting metamorphosis! She is going to look like the color of her nose. . . ALL OVER!!
