Please feel free to ask complicated genetics questions, lol.

Doesn't look like much, but it's my platinum ASFs in progress, lol. Also a male fancy mouse hanging out with the ASFs.

Here's something else you probably won't see anywhere else. I think one other person has them right now. Satin Spiny mouse baby! Lol, they're not much to look at, but they're rare, and they're one of the only mutations in Spiny mice. I wish we had blue over here, that's the only other mutation I know of, and I think it's not in this country.

They're all so cute!! I used to have pet mice, fast little guys lol. Interesting colors on these guys, I love em

Great looking mice and ASFs! You're making me want mice / ASFs now lol. I like the reds and the fox's coloration.

Your male fancy mouse and asf don't fight?? I would have thought they'd cannibalize each other. lol.

Nope. ASFs can pretty much cohabitate with any gender of house mouse with no problems at all. :gj:

Nice fancies you got there :O

How were you able to produce a hairless and tricolor?

We got hairless a long time ago from a laboratory. Tricolor is very common in the US, it is a mixture of the splashed gene, a c-dilute gene, and the piebald gene. :)

Do the hairless mice have the lactating problem like rats?

How lucky you guys. I wish we had tri-color mice here in the Philippines. Would love to be the first one to own one :)

Hairless mice, the lines that are available in the pet / show trade now, do not have lactation problems. :)

Okay. I believe I actually just had a hairless mouse show up in one of my litters! I found this really odd. She got her hair, and it was really thin, and it looked like she was wet. I went and looked at them today, and she's almost bald on her back and stomach, with a little hair on her legs and head so far. She just turned 2 weeks old on Friday. Do they normally loose fur this young? She's the runt, and is at least half(Maybe a third) of the size of her litter mates. I actually have them in with the rats, since they both have very small litters (Three and four.) So the runt can get some food.

No that's not normal, she's likely sick.

Hairless mice (hr/hr) grow in a full coat of health fur, then start losing it from the nose, to the tail in a perfect molt line. Having thin hair might suggest that she has an immunodeficiency disorder or other heath issues.

Attached images are what the molting looks like at first on a real hairless mouse.

Well, like I said, she is the runt, and she's significantly smaller than her siblings. Could the hair loss be caused because she isn't getting as much food?

It can be caused by a lot of things. Protein allergies are common causes of hair loss too, and are very common. It's likely a negative effect of her being the runt in some way shape or form. If you're breeding feeders, I would make sure you mark her (clipping her ear works well) and don't breed from her in the future. If you don't need her to grow up, culling now would be recommended.

Interesting.. I never knew hairless mice started off with hair.

Yep! They grow a complete, normal coat of hair, and then lose it in a perfect molt line, starting from their face, and their feet. They end up with little hula skirts at some point, lol.

Thanks. I'm breeding them for their colors, lol, but I am selling them as feeders, She actually ended up dying. She was pathetically small, and despite even being fostered to the rats who had very small litters, she looked like she never got any food.

I was going to cull her, but I have no idea how to do that humanely.

If they're small enough, I just flick them very hard on the back of the head. It's an instant kill for small mice. For weanlings, I do the same thing, then cervical dislocation. I do cervical dislocation on anything larger than that.
