THEY ARE SO SWEET! AIEEEEE.
I'm in love with them, really, hahah.
They all loooove cheek and ear rubs, and all are really handleable. They're nippy, but I haven't gotten tagged yet. They don't like to be scooped up from above, but if you pick them up gently by the tail and plop them in your hand, they like being out.

Anywho, I have a bunch of shades of agouti, and one diluted one.
I'm hoping to breed the diluted ones, make some solid brown ones, and possibly some BEW ones. :3

I have way to many right now. So if you, or someone you know wants one or two, let me know, cause a bunch are for sale.

In the video, i keep curling my fingers up, because they like to nibble on finger tips when they're in the cage with them.

Aww! I love them! So cute

They have such big eyes! What are they? African Singing Rat; Australian Spinning Ringtails; Awfully Spiffy Rodents???

ASF - I think equals African Soft Furred.

I like the one with the white face.

 

[Rhasputin]

Awfully Spiffy Rodents!

They look lovely!! The first one looks just like one of mine, right down to the markings above her eyes.

Gosh if only we were in the same country! They are lovely! x

Little sweeties!!
My old college used to have 10 millions of these, sadly none of them were cuddly ):
Is the last one an Argente??

 

[Rhasputin]

I don't know what the name of the colour is. I'm not familiar with the proper term. :?
I've just been calling her tan, or diluted. If someone knows the proper term, I'd love to know. :lol:

Colour mutations:

Multimammate mice are now seen in quite a variety of colours including the natural agouti brown (AA). Note: genetic symbols are for demonstration purposes only as there is not to my knowledge any clear-cut genetic information available on the multimammate mouse.

Cinnamon: (aa) similar to agouti but lacking the black ticking to each hair and so has a much paler look to the fur. I believe this to be a recessive gene.

Pied: any colour with large patched of white. This appears to be a co-dominant gene as whenever I have bred a pied to a self coloured animal I gets both pieds and selfs cropping up in litters. There are two distinct markings seen in pied animals - white animals with saddles of colour across the back and coloured animals with a white blaze or 'badger' marking on the face. Again I get both occurring in litters.

Red-eyed cinnamon (rr): sometimes referred to as champagne or argente, it is a very pale cream with a slate grey under coat and bright pink eyes. As it is a recessive gene all red-eyed animals are homozygous and cannot carry any other genes. Red-eyed carriers (heterozygous agoutis) have a colouration similar to that of a cinnamon but are still agouti.

Fabulous! Very heplfull! Exactly what I needed!

I have some that are either cinnamon, or REC (red eyed cinnamon!) carrier then! I'm hoping to breed some of the RECs and some that are self coloured.

I'm also going to try for BEWs, but that will take some time.
I have one with a really nice deep red colour, that I might keep in the marked line.
I really prefer that deep red colour. You can see him in the pile of ASFs, near the bottom of the picture. His fur is much darker than the others.
