My preference is to pedigree the babies by mating one male to one female instead of rotating all the males through. YMMV.
pinstripe x butter
cinnamon x pastel
pastel x cinnamon
pinstripe x normal
Two reasons for the pinstripe x normal:
I like pinstripes. YMMV
A pinstripe x normal mating tests the pinstripe to see if he has two pinstripe genes (homozygous pinstripe) or one pinstripe gene paired with a normal gene. If homozygous pinstripe, all the babies would be expected to be pinstripe. If not homozygous pinstripe, each baby has a 50% chance of being pinstripe and a 50% chance of being normal.
Good luck with the breeding, whatever your final choices.
