    It's just a fawn colored asf. You'll see black eyes and pink eyes and that's pretty normal for them.

    I would selectively breed the litter if it is possible and see what comes of it. I wish I could get some ASFR's

    Just because you've never seen one I wouldn't dismiss it. This ASF may not be albino, but I believe that they have been out there somewhere sometime.

    No, they haven't. In rodents most define albino as one with no pigment at all. RED (not pink) eyes, and 100% white (no color at all in the body). By that definition, they don't exist yet.

    But who is to say that this anomaly can not arise? how did we get albinos from other animals.... Line breeding? and maybe a FEW w/c.... I'm sure its possible just keep trying. If its not oh well. if it is that's pretty dang cool IMO.

    Re: albino asf

    A few litters after my original group from Mike C. I got some PED (pink eye diluted) and since I have some reduced markings in several litters with pink, ruby and dark eyes. Keep breeding and you'll pop out the "wild type" aka solid black with black feet,ears and tails. Good luck and have fun.

    Just because they haven't shown up in captivity doesn't mean they don't exist.
