More fun mouse updates

Here's basically what I've been working on. Been playing around with the umbrous gene a lot.
Most of my bucks are well above 60 grams now, with some maxing out around 80 grams.


Here's 3 different kinds of umbrous chinchilla dilutes of some kind... One is a satin version of the other.

Here's a 'sable' doe I accidentally made along the way. Totally black on top fading into totally red on the bottom. Definitely Heterozygous umbrous here, lol.

Just for fun! Enjoy. :)

Thank you for posting these pics. They are really nice!

I hope these aren't food! They're super pretty...!!! If I was to have a tiny furry friend, I would pick one like this. They look so soft :)

The one with the black top and brown belly is so cool! :O I have never seen a mouse like that before!

Thank you guys! I put a lot of work and pride into my mice. So getting feedback is always appreciated!

AllieKin, that is my goal! lol Making mice nobody has ever seen before. :P

Nice colors you have there. I wonder what the colors will turn out to be if you breed them to an albino :taz:

Albino just covers up all other colors, so they wouldn't change. :P

Wont the offsprings be a mix of brown and white?

No. Albino is c/c genetically. c/c turns the whole mouse white. If the mouse carries albino it would be C/c (the little c is albino gene, and the big C is no albino gene). If you carry albino, it does not show on your fur at all, it only shows if you have two small c's (c/c) which turns the mouse pure white with pink eyed. :)

I see thanks for the info. Does that also apply for pure black mice/rats or no?

Albino on all animal species, is a cover-up gene. When an animal has 2 copies of the c Albino gene (c/c) they turn pure white, but are still genetically whatever color they originally were, underneith the white. So a black rat, who has the albino gene, would still be genetically black, but you would only see the white with pink eyes. :)

Albino is probably the strongest gene I can think of, lol. It covers up all colors and interacts with none as far as I am aware (at least in rodents.)
