it has nothing to do with the jag gene... they're just normal carpets.
If that is the case then why do so many jags seem to have this "tick" while relatively few normals have it? What are so many jag owners doing wrong to induce the condition that normal owners are not doing? And why, when jags cost $1-5k a few years ago, were serious keepers doing anything with such expensive animals that might put their animals at risk?
