Yesterday I went about seperating my half grown males from the rest, and as I did, I noticed something very funny about three!

They have long, silky soft hair!

Sorry for the poor picture quality:







These came out of two normal furred mice. Is this a ressesive gene? I showed them to my grandmother, and she has been wanting a small furry pet, and as these little guys were very tame and let me pet them easily, I may give her a pair. She wants one of those cages you see at the petstore, all cutsey and wire with a wheel and tunnels. Can anyone recommend a good type and a place to get one for a reasonable amount?

Also, just gotta show off my success! I have NEVER been able to breed mice with any amount of real productivity, but after getting tired of it, I placed them all in a 40g, 1 male to about 7 females, and BAM! Got me a big pile of babies!!





Thanks for any help!!
