Oh my goodness! Lovely tans. I do so love tans myself!!!

Thanks tiny I like tans too, and the more intense the better

what lovely mice- the blue Tan is a nice colour for blue, but as I expect you know blue dilution also dilutes tan, so you can never get the same depth of Tan as on any other tan. It can however carry good tan, but never show it on the surface. I see you have pink eyed Tans there as well, these could well be proper pink eyed dilution blue tans, in which case they will never show good tan either, but can be considerably improved by selection. The silver /dove tans in the uk are all pink eyed black tans selected for paleness to achieve a pale top colour. Therfore our silver and dove tans have a raging tan.

Update!

Indira had 8 bubs yesterday - 4 pink eyed and 4 black eyed. Ca't wait to see some pigmentation and fur on these

Tabasco had her babies today, but she ate them all I'm so disappointed, i was so happy and excited - this was my first astrex litter Now i'm considering pairing them again in about 2 weeks. I really want to get some babies after Tabasco, she's very sweet and loving, has a very good size and a pretty nice tail for a danish mouse

Aida is due again in 2 days, so i'm removing Lukas today - don't want another oops
