Siamese Male

Judges Comments:
Has nice coloring with nose and tail points already; You can really start to see what he is going to look like as an adult. He is starting to get some bulk on him, would like to see more in the rear as well as chest.

Spotted Agouti Female
Age: Eight weeks old
Judges Comments:
This girl has really nice color; she also has all of the proper spots, that is, on nose, head, neck and tail. Her tail tuft is good but would have showed up better if not photographed on white. She looks alert and animated in this picture.

Mottled Argente Cream Female

Though young she already is developing the coat and shape of a show gerbil. This pup has an amazing tail tuft. The tail and is nice and straight. I wish the pictures had been better and not washed out by the light to better judge color and pattern.

Judges Comments:
A real cutie with nice bright almond shaped eyes. Body appears small/curved but should fill out as she matures with a show quality gerbil diet. Color could be more vibrant in side shot (may be picture), and shows nice golden flecks (as seen in front shot). Nice tail/tuft with proper black hairs.

This gerbil looks very soft and sweet. In the top photo, I can see her nice almond-shaped eyes. The required heavier ticking may come in with age. Appears to have a bend in the tail.
