gerbrezzis

Those would be fat tailed gerbils, and no they are not a cross between a gerbil and a hamster. Grrr, pet stores are so stupid sometimes!!! I used to have a few as a pet. They are awfully cute little things, though they are pretty rare. It's hard to find them in pet shops. You do need to have a USDA permit for exotics in order to sell them though. If the store does not have a class C permit they are in violation of the law. Not to mention they are false advertising. You think they would do some research first.

Here's a link.

By the way - how do you spell it? Can't remember whether it was gerprezzi or gerbrezzi now.

[Zippy]

I think it is spelled Duprasi.

I think it is spelled Duprasi.

You are absolutely right zippy. Believe it or not they had spelt it totally wrong in the pet shop and said they were a gerbil/hamster cross! Just shows they know nothing about what they are selling!! All information much appreciated. Thanks.
