Litter Update #2

This is what a mouse breeder said about the parents and litter.

All babies will carry blue. If both parents are satin, all babies will be satin since satin is a recessive trait.

If no babies are blue, the father is at/a ch/c D/D (a black tan who has one copy of himalayan and one copy of albino).

If any of the babies have long hair, the parents are also Go/go (carriers of angora) and/or go/go (angora). Sometimes you can have mice who are very poor angoras not show it very much. It's a hard trait to keep consistent.

The "fox" you see is actually a very poor (common) tan. This is because you cannot have a chinchillated himalayan (chinchilla is needed for real fox). I wonder why somebody (or a petstore?) bred a himalayan to a tan mouse in the first place.

I do not understand the at/a ch/c D/D or Go/go but I'm trying to figure out what these mice carry and display as far as genetics.

I've always wanted tans. Those babies will be beautiful. :mouse2:

They are a very low quality tan. They kind of look like fox but because they do not contain the chinchilla gene, they can't be. I really like the high quality tans, but unless I get my hands on some nice ones I'll never produce them like that. I'll have updated pictures of the babies as they reach adulthood.
