I'm pretty sure I understand it, but common feeder mice, PEWs, are c/c p/p, right? So BEWs are just c/c P/*? So in order to breed BEWs, I would breed a PEW to a P/* mouse, and then breed the dark eyed babies back to the PEW parent? I know it's not a sure fire way, and it's about chance, but basically, here's my projected outcomes:
P1 gen: [c/c p/p] X [C/C P/P] I don't actually know what my BE parent carries, so I'm assuming they carry nothing
F1 gen: [C/c P/p] X F1[c/c p/p]
F2 gen possibilites: [C/c P/p] [c/c P/p] [c/c p/p] [C/c p/p]
Does that sound plausible? Then, c/c P/p would be the BEW I'm looking for, so just breed them to each other and cull the PEWs, right? Are there any special considerations I need for BEW mice, any special health problems to be aware of?
