Satins are not a destorted mutated gerbil.
They all have the normal one head four feet,one tail kinda thing ya know.It's a gene mutation changing what are supposed to be normal colored gerbils.This is also not a hair mutation like the satin mice.
They are a light colored gerbil with ruby to deep red eyes.Same color back and belly.So far most are aa(self-colored gerbils).
I may have just came across my first A*(white bellied gerbils),gg.Except he doesn't have a white belly.
Most things about them are still theory.I am beginning to think that they are much like the dtw.Where chch together bleaches out body color and eye color.Except satins are not chch.
The gene that does this to my gerbils seems to turn gerbils of most geneotypes to the same color.A lt.beige color some are lighter some a tad darker.There is also a line of white type gerbils that goes along with the satins I call them funky whites.They have red to deep red eyes to.Both satins and funky whites can produce dark eyed babies with a mate that has true red eyes(pp).
But they are actually dark eyed gerbils that have at least one (P*)
I have beeen spending the past year working with them more and will continue to do so as long as I can.Nothing is very concrete and still lots of mystery.Most seem to be ee and gg.I have a male Oyster he is Ee but I don't know his G* locus.
Meaning if he is G* or Gg he is a black gerbil genetically,if he is gg The gentically he's a slate and looks nothing like one.His mate is a red fox.
A satin X a satin never has ,so far produce anything but more satins and white types.Virtually nothing is known about the whites.I can pair a satin with just about any normal colored gerbil and get more normal colors and the offspring will as far as I can tell now, will have that mutated gene.
So far the only color I really see it messing with is some blacks(not a major differences,only when it completly takes the color out)and some slates.
Out this program came a male.I am not sure what he is.I have never seen a gerbil like him before.Oh he's not much to look at color wise,but he is a beautiful looking guy.He is a white bellied male out of 2 selfs (aa).White belly is A* only.He maybe a lcp, cp red fox ,but I have never seen one that I know of.It is assumed they would be all white.When he was a pup he had a band of color from his head to his tail straight down his back and his belly was white.
This color was much the color of a red fox(that's also what his mother was)but much much more lighter than a red fox.Almost diluted.As he grew I watched him get lighter and lighter he's just off white and still has a white belly.
Another one is Blue she's a Ccb slate.And looks bluish.She has a lighter creamy under coat the middle hairs are a light blueish gray tinge and the top shafts of her hair are a darker blue gray,kinda 3 toned.
