Ok so about 6 weeks ago i got a colony together, it consists of a PEW doe, a BEW doe and a PEW satin doe, the buck being a BEW satin...
I idea originally was to try and get more BEW satins...
The first litter i got 6 or 7 babies, PEWs and PEW satins, that sounds about right.
Second litter i got a darker baby, like stone or dove, ok so the parents probably carry stone/dove whatever it is....
...another baby in that litter was broken...ummm ok so a parent might carry broken? ....
the other 2 babies in that same litter are hairless!!!! :? not one of the mice in this group are related in any way to my hairless mice ??? :shock: not only that these particular mice come from my half that i have been breeding for over a year now rarely introducing a new mouse, surely if any of my mice were carry hairless it would have shown within 18 months or so of constant breeding??
Its something i just can't put my finger on, one has red eyes which is something i've never had within my hairless so thats pretty cute, but this whole ordeal is confusing...and it doesn't stop there!!
at about 14 weeks old, 2 of the adult females, the normal coated ones have changed colour and are now broken ? what!
What started off as a PEW and a BEW are now broken marked mice, at first glance some might say they're still white or off white, but if you look for a few seconds you can see, they are just a tint off-white with patches of white on, so faint it can be hard to see under wrong light, but they're deffo broken, but deffo wasn't when i made the group!
I've been trying to get pictures but its so hard to see, the camera is not picking the colours up..i'll keep trying but its madness!
All i ever wanted to do was put a group of whites together, now my whites aren't whites, and my litters really mixed up with colours, brokens AND hairless!
