Pink-eyed White
Gerbil · 0 live listings
Pink-eyed white gerbils are all white with red eyes. Genetically they come from the Himalayan color gene rather than full albinism, and they need the same same-sex pair, glass tank and deep bedding as any gerbil.
At a glance
The tradeoffs, honestly
White coats show staining, and red-eyed gerbils tend to see less well, so they may startle more easily. Care otherwise matches any gerbil.
Common questions
Is a pink-eyed white an albino?
Not technically. It comes from the Himalayan gene, the same family of genes behind Siamese and Burmese, which is why white babies can appear in pointed litters.
What health checks should a gerbil have?
Ask whether the line has a history of seizures: many gerbils have stress-triggered epilepsy, and some lines are more prone. Check the tail is whole (never lift a gerbil by it, as the skin can slip off), and ask for vet-confirmed sex and a litter record.
Are gerbils legal everywhere?
No. Gerbils are prohibited in California and Hawaii because escaped animals could establish wild populations. Rules vary, so check state and city law before you buy.
