So I'm in the pet store, told myself I wouldn't look at mice, but I had to get a waterbottle, and my fiance says "look at that one..." Dammit I wasn't going to look at mice, then I saw him, a black tan, of course now that I'm interested in genetics the pet store is going to carry really pretty, interesting ones all of a sudden! :shock: And to top that, its obviously a male; this store tries to only carry females, and I don't want to drive across town for another male right now. I'm sold, I get the keeper to get me my new buck, looks like he's longhaired too:
As the guy reaches in, telling me about how neat that one is and that he's never seen one like it before, he pauses and says, "There's another one." What!
and its a female... your joking right? Gimme, gimme, gimme!
Sorry I photoshop this pic it came out blurry
So there they are, my newest editions (mouse breeding can become quit addictive can't it?), not the best pair of tans in the world, but I don't think they are half bad. Now, for the silly newbie questions. Seeing as I was originally trying to figuring out Selfs this is a whole new ball game to me. Would this buck and doe just produce more black tans or could I have a mixed litter? The belly on the buck is not real tan and the doe could use some improvement how would one go about accomplishing this? And I read to improve the black you would breed it to a self, is that correct?
Thanks, Amethyst
