my mouse marble (who some of you are familiar with ) has some orange/tan fur appearing on her stomach and neck. theres just a little bit right now but it wasnt there last time i checked her so i dont know if she is molting or something? please help! thank you! (in the last pic you can see it under her tail)

haha so then what is going on here if the markings werent there before?

 

[nanette37]

it definitely wasnt there before. i have pictures of her before it appeared :| . its so strange! but i love it. i hope more of it changes color :mrgreen: . haha im shocked you dont know what it is! you seem to know what everything is :lol: . anyone else have an idea?

 

[nanette37]

she hasnt had any babies yet but she is hopefully pregnant right now so i will find out soon enough. i hope she does though cuz i like tan mice

 

[nanette37]

haha i will! if she is pregnant that is :| . she was with the male from feb 24th to march 11th so its been about 4 weeks since she was first with him. but she doesnt seem to have much of a belly so im not sure. i guess i'll find out though!

i'll wait a week and then put her back in there. just so it will be 3 weeks since i took her out of his cage so i can be sure she isnt pregnant. maybe she is just having a small amount of babies. thats happened to me before where i had a mouse that didnt look pregnant and then surprise! she had 2 babies . of course that was like 7 years ago and i was only 11 so i dont remember too much :|

hmm.. interesting.. so maybe she is tan? i think its so strange how simple things like temperature can change how they look. its weird how the environment does that

 

[nanette37]

wow that is crazy mouse! very nice . that makes me hope that she is a tan. i think its weird though how it wasnt there before.. i would've noticed it when i bought her cuz i had to check if she was a female.. hmm.. maybe it was just very light

 

[nanette37]

ya there isnt any of that orange above her belly. i'll just keep checking her and see ifshe gets more color

 

[nanette37]

She's definately a tan or a fox... i can tell by the line under her chin

tans and foxes have lines?

 

[nanette37]

oh i see it! and im looking at a post right now of a broken chocolate tan and it has small markings that look similar mine. this is the one im looking at: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=2808

so she must be tan then! yay!
