Since you're interested in genetics, your top mouse is either piebald, or banded (hard to tell for sure) brindle, and angora. Brindle refers to teh striped pattern, and angora means long haired. :)

The bottom mouse, is a recessive yellow, and appears satin as well. Make sure she/he isn't sick, she looks a little hunched over.

Thanks and dear lord I think I'm getting it lol
You confirmed what I thought they were!!" Well the brindle, angora but I wasn't sure on the banded either...
And the recessive yellow is definitely satin, it doesn't show up well on that pic.
I will definitely keep my eye on her, thank you

Yeah the thing about banded is that it can totally look like piebald sometimes. It's supposed to be just a band of white around the middle, but it sometimes freaks out and makes head spots and patterns on the belly and chin, which are kind of indicative of banded and not piebald. You'll just have to see what the kids look like later on! :)


(if I had to bet money on it, I'd say banded ;) )

Thanks again, I appreciate your help! :)

So what would I possibly get if I breed him with Moo?

You would be likely to get more brindle, possibly with white spots depending on if the male carries or is piebald, and if the female carries banded. You should also get some blacks or agouti (depending on dad's genes, as Brindle is either Avy/a or Avy/A on him, meaning he is either black, or agouti brindle (hard to tell in the photo, and honestly hard to tell in person too).
If both of them carry albino (we know mom does) then you may also get some albinos!

You are awesome!! Thank you once again :). After Moo gets a break from these guys I'm gonna go for that breeding, he'll be out of quarantine by then. I will most likely be asking for id help with those little ones!!!:O
