Hi!

My name is Joelle. I have been breeding gerbils since March 2004. My first encounter with this small rodent was when I went to College, in a course called "Culture and maintenance of living creatures". From that day on, the number of gerbils at my home has never stopped increasing. Going from 2 to almost up to 80 at times! Breeding gerbils really became a passion for me! I raise them for the pleasure of it, but at the same time, I try to produce very tame and beautiful gerbils in accord with the standards of the American Gerbil Society. I am also member of this association. 

When I began breeding, I decided to breed colors like Siamese and Dark Eyed Honey. But when I searched in my area, I realized that nobody knew about these colors. Therefore, on June 12th, 2005, I went to the United States to adopt gerbils of the colors I liked most and carry out my dream. 

I graduated from colledge  with a degree in Techniques of Inventory and Research in Biology (TIRB). It is a college degree which teaches concepts of biology, microbiology, chemistry,  field work on fauna and the flora and ecology. I now work as a Lab Technician, in a local high school. 

 

 

Here's a graph that represents the number of gerbils I had at home according to the time.
