I've refined and improved the stock that I got from you Gary. I have gotten all of the white off of those. All jet black now like ninjas...from the tip of their tail to the tip of their nose...nary a white hair to be seen.

And my jet black dumbos would be hardier in your hot building with their bigger heat releasing ears and their more laid back demeanor lol.

Someday you will get a rat from me Gary lol.

My building hits 90's most of the summer. Many southern breeder's buildings are not temp controlled.


I would say you either have a bad female or a bad male.

Retry with different breeding stock.

I would take Tom up on his offer if you are capable. He has some good breeding stock....I know, much of it came from me
