Interesting Litter
I have taken my rodent breeding way down as my mouse groups were getting old (breeding wise) and I wanted to focus on breeding rats (I only have 1 pair) and my snakes. So all of my mice either got sold, or went into snake bellies. Except one female who was bred to her son. I kept her and her litter. For the life of me I cannot remember what date they were born, but I know they are less than 2 weeks old. The litter began with 16 babies (way more than she's used to) and I fed off a few. This is what is left. A few of the babies are on the skinny side but we will see what happens. I am clueless as to the colors of these little ones. If anyone would like to take a guess, that would be awesome. I might keep a few of these for future breeding. I'm not sure yet. My supply of rodent food isn't very good and I don't want to take on more rodents than I can feed. (I'm down to my last bag of rodent food I purchased from a reptile show. No one here in the area sells big bags of rodent food or can order it. I'm hoping to get more big bags in March)
Oh and the mother is an orange-ish female. She was bred to her son who looks like a siamese. I can get pics of the mother and father if need be. I no longer have the father (sold him).

I think they look black, white, blond, and blond mixed with pink:P
Pretty cool colors tho.

Wow! those are weird looking!!! I have a female that looks light the one at the bottom of the pic. It has its head up ones butt and the black one has its head in its tail. Thats the color I have.

I'll bring my opinion over from the other forum. :P
Black, sotty RY, himilayan, PEW, siamese. Hard to tell between himi and siamese with poor quality colors, but I'm sure there's one in there.

Re: Interesting Litter
Hahaha. Just trying to get some opinions on them. What about the little gray one in the top corner? He doesn't look black, siamese, himilayan, PEW or RY.
-
On my computer it's hard to see the contrast. Is he pink eyed?
-
Re: Interesting Litter
I think they are black as his eyes are dark but its hard to see because his eyes are not open all the way yet.
-
If they're black, they might be blue. If pink, then I bet dove. But they look waaaay too dark to be dove.
If they are blue, that might be the reason your RYs are so ugly. :rofl:
-
I'll try to get better pictures of all the babies today. Most of them are opening their eyes.

It looks like you mixed RY and blue. That can cause that weird grayish yellow, and the weird silvery things.
Some clearer pictures would help, with natural lighting. Try putting them in a bin, and photographing them outside. :)
-
Thanks! You really are being a great help. I'll try and get some better pictures today (especially since it is so nice out!) All I have is my droid phone camera, so hopefully I can get some good ones.
-
Definately got satin in there. And the gray with pink eyes looks like a dove, but with the RY mised in there it might be a mishmash diluted colour.

I had a few that looked identical to the ones you have but their eyes were red. Both parents from them were solid colored and dark eyes but their father was spotted with black eyes.

What you had were probably RY, and dove. RY can have pink or black eyes. :)
