Hi all
I am new here, introduced myself in the relevent section, and I need advice on which variety would be good to start off with. I love Black Eyed Creams to look at but know nothing about genetics yet. I also like the rump whites and bandeds in black and chocolate. Do you get cream rump whites and bandeds? I gather marked breeds are not good for beginners???
I have kept and bred many species but not mice, so though some knowledge about breeding is universal I know each species has very specific do's and don'ts so could someone point me in the direction of a source of info re. genetics and lethals please? And an in depth source about breeding practices.
I need to learn more about the whole culling thing, as I would want to know about the most humane and least violent ways and decide if the hobby is right for me.
Plus any tips on things like in hindsight, What you wouldnt do if starting over setting up as a breeder//exhibitor...I want to find loads out and not rush in to this.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
