What exactly is spinning?
Re: Morphs and health problems
I doubt it's due to inbreeding on any of these as the problems have stayed with us even after plenty of time for outbreeding. In the case of spider it's seen in spite of generations of outbreeding. With the others it's seen regularly in the homozygous animals but not their just as inbred/not inbred het/possible het siblings. It seems likely that these problems are just another feature of the morphs. The encouraging thing is that they aren't always seen so perhaps we can do something to overcome the tendency.

wobbly head or doing the ' loop the loop '
as said not all have it , more common in spiders , but can ( tho rarely ) be seen in others. its still unclear as to why happens and like Randy said ...Spid's have been out crossed everywhere and it still appears .
