What is the most common hair color?
I suppose it black or brown.
Not blonde neither red.
The most common hair colour is brown, followed by blond, red and then black/white. While it might seem that black hair is the most common, that hair usually isn't truly black but a very dark brown. White hair might also seem common amongst the older bit of the population, true white hair, which you only have if you're an albino, is really rare.

Is it OK if a gerbil is missing fur on its paws?
Usually if a gerbil is missing hair on it's paws, especially it's front ones, they lost the hair because they chewed it off, a behavior gerbils follow when their surroundings stay the same. Basically, when they get bored to death. If this is happening to your gerbil, try giving it more exercise with you and moving the things inside the cage around a bit.

Would you be able to sleep with a gerbil in your room?
When i got my first gerbils i kept them in my room, at first it was a little hard to sleep with them there and occasionally i had to put them somewhere else. eventually i got used to the noises and can sleep through them easily, i have now had gerbils in my room for about 5 years now although sometimes i have to take them out. MY advice is that if you do decide to keep them in your room make sure there is nothing they can chew in there cage during the night ( e.g. cardboard, plastic wheels and other objects they tend to chew. ) If you leave chewable objects in there cage it will not only be very noisy but you will have a very sleepless night.

Can fat tailed gerbils live with other gerbil species?
It is a well known fact that fat tailed gerbils are more aggressive than their skinny tailed counterparts. Therefore, the fat tailed gerbil is likely to attack the skinny tailed gerbil because it is jealous of its dashing good looks. However, the extra weight added by the tail will slow the gerbil down to the point of its exhaustion by the time it has crossed the tank. The skinny tailed gerbil will then take advantage of the pooped fat tailed gerbil and begin to claw at vital spots on its body. After a few minutes the fat tailed gerbil will be turned into a finger coat and sold to the highest bidder. These quality finger coats are normally valued at 1,000 dollars but avid collecters are willing to pay up to 5,000 for the rare ones.
