Some of these aren't show mice - But I'd like to know what markings and colourings they could be out of interest. I will post more information with the pictures.

Male - I would guess broken, light fawn? Not sure what colour you would call that. He is pink eyed, they are squity cause of the flash. Oh he looks like he has normal fur.

Both of the non show mice have slightly tan bellies near the tail end - so prehaps that was in their ancestery. I think they are also both broken greys (maybe a very dark dove ish shade?) Both are black eyed. They are either sisters or half sisters

First of all is Pixie she is the predominantly white show mouse - she has normal fur with long whiskery hairs coming out of it. She is for main use as a nanny.

Second is Moggi, she is the predominantly predominantly grey mouse. She has long curly sort of curly fur and curly whiskers, depending on how good her colour is and how good her fur is I may breed her for pets and to see if something nice appears. She looks like her father.

The male in the first pic looks like he has a darker color at the roots; if so he is an argent. He looks pretty large! The others look like they have a mix of light and dark hairs...could be marked silvered, but I don't really know.

He looked tiny in the shop, but he fills a standard toilet roll tube, the shop said he was between 14 and 18 weeks old. On closer inspection he does have dark roots, maybe even hairs. He has a large broken patch on his tummy, which has a tiny splondge of his main colour in the middle of it.

Did I pay a good price for £3.50?

The difference in the greys maybe due to the shadows cause be their mad fur - I will have a look

They gray ones look like either broken blues, or broken blue agoutis.

If the first mouse has a dark under coat, that looks almost blue, he could be argente.

£3.50 is a pretty average price.

I know here in the US, most mice at shows sell for $5 US, unless they're super duper magical mice. :lol:

Yes the grey in his coat looks blue in colour and spreads further than you can see in the photo. I spent hours doing a huge punnet square to find out what colours I would get if I put him to my silver tan, to find over half the combinations are argente anyway

Because he is broken and she is tan would most of the babies be a broken tan mix or would there be selfs, broken and tans.

I thought the two girls looked bluey. I will have to try and get some better images - when they sit still, they are absolutely manic.

Just a question on the coats.

Is the long hair when the coat is standard with a few longer wispy hairs? The broken grey on white mouse has this sort of coat.

And is the white on grey mouse what would be called frizzy? The coat when she first gre it looked like what might be called rex? Now it looks like someone has crimped it with a set of hair tongs, after curling her whiskers. When she is old enough would it be worth putting her to the possible argente boy to get curly broken ones?
