B/W radixes

7 born. 7 still doing well.

I should say the others from this group are doing very well also.

It just seems so normal to me. So the stripes aren't yellow or orange. Not much else is different. Just seems like it isn't much of a stretch to appear that way.

That's the whole jist of a TRUE color mutation. The pattern remains unaltered!

Proof or the pudding comes in a few years, I'm not sure I can wait until these guys are old enough to breed to find out whether this B&W phenotype is predictably heritable. The fact that you got 7 of them and some other normals in the same litter implies a genetic mutation, or combination of recessive genes from the parents.

Steve, do you plan to breed the same parents again this year?

Steve, do you plan to breed the same parents again this year?

Yes I do.

[chris-uk]

Yes I do.

I assumed you would. Fingers-crossed for another good brood later in the year.

Up early for a Sunday Steve.

They do love them some treats!! I feed Fish Bait today while all the others were hiding in their respective hides and only took a second for them all to come out and pester him while he ate. He's getting better at being picked up while eating.
