    Sable x hypo clutch out! (pic heavy)

    My sable x hypo clutch just finished crawling out of their eggs and I need some help to ID them. I hand selected the hypo due to his speckling and it looks like he may have just proved out to be a genetic granite. Sorry about the picture quality but baby balls are hard to photograph!

    I guessed at what the hathlings may be but am still pretty unsure. Also pay careful attention to baby 4. I have no idea what he could be, very small, super dark but no sable speckle? Very confused about him.

    Mom and dad in the act (photo does not show dad's speckling well at all )


    Mom on eggs


    the eggs


    Baby 1 56.7g Male Granite Het Hypo




    Baby 2 52.4g Male Sable het Hypo possible granite




    Baby 3 54.9g Female Het Hypo possible granite




    Baby 4 32.9g tiny tiny Male (unknown very dark)




    Baby 5 61.7g Female granite het hypo




    Baby 6 54.3g Male sable het hypo possible granite




    Baby 7 54.1g M het hypo possible granite




    Baby 8 59g Male het hypo possible granite

    Please give me you opinion about my guesses on these hatchlings as I am very unsure even after studying them for hours.

    I've never messed with sables, and from my understanding it's a pretty subtle single gene to pick out.

    Can you get some pictures after the babies shed, and take them in natural light?

    You definitely hit on a few sables. Congrats! I tried to breed my pin to my sable female this year but she never took. Going to try again next year. Wanting to hit the sable camo in the future

    That had to have been the cutest picture ensemble in the known universe. The bears and baby toy did it for me. Very beautiful clutch.

    I am planning to retain one male and pair him with my big female pin next season.
