Some more genetic links with nice gerbil color pages also in the German version. Some of the genecodes aren't confirmed yet. If there is a question mark, further investigations are needed. This one has an atypical light colour, but so it becomes obvious, that there is some variation in the wild color, too. The color of some Agoutis tends to more grey, of others it can be more intensive often with a little higher amounts of red.
Next crossings have to prove our expectation.
The pp interacts with the c h . The intensive colour is due to the yellow, not grey, colour of the hair-base in all gerbils with the ee gene . Below an old dark eyed honey with finished ticking, so it appears darker. So, their white belly ends higher towards the shoulder than agouti bellies. And ticking isn't as pronounced as in agoutis, so DEH appear more orangy.
