I have 2 baby mice who are very close to Dove colour but as I have had a Dove tan they look either Silver or Lilac. the pics I have are not good so sorry in advance, the lil * wouldnt keep still They both have Tan tums too and they all have ruby red eyes not pink :?
Any ways here goes.
this one is the more blue looking in the second pic which makes me think its lilac? She is more the colour in the second pic in true life.

This one is very pale.

Also is this doe Argent? sorry about pic quality.

since he/she has pink eyes he/she can't be lilac and the bottom pic isn't argente which are a pale fawn /orange colour.Back to the drawing board.

The botton baby has a blue undercoat. Just a very bad picture it shows the top colour only, inreality the under coat its quite clear .

 

[SarahC]

the top colour is wrong for argente,they are orange.It might have argente in its ancestry or silver which also rightly or wrongly(bone of mousing contention)have a blue under coat.Unless you know their history its impossible to say for certain.

So does that mean I have a mouse with a non known colouring then?
Mum is definantly a Argent as she has the orange coat but she is banded dont know about her parentage dad is a Himilayan I was told he was Himi through and through.
I have Black Tans and an Agouti in this litter to.

I'd be the first to admit I'm rubbish at genetics.I'm only talking visually and from that point of view it's not.Somebody else might know from a genetic side of things ,certainly not me.

I think they're both doves - this is genetically a PE black so perfectly possible considering the parents you have mentioned. Ruby eyes are also a dead giveaway of doves.
