Would you breed her? (kinked lesser)
I just realized the next breeding season is nearly upon us, and my lesser girl is almost big enough! She weighs around 1140g now, but I've been feeding very lightly this year... I won't chance giving big rats due to the kink, so she's been averaging 2 adult mice every 7-10 days. If I upped that to 3+ mice (which she'd happily take), I bet her weight would be right on target by my usual "start date."
So here's the issue - she has a rather noticeable kink in her neck, and I have no idea of the cause. Her seller didn't disclose this to me before shipping (she looked fine in the pics), and all attempts to contact him have failed. She eats just fine, and doesn't appear to have any issues because of it. I know lessers aren't known for genetic kinks, like the caramel albino for example, and hope it was either incubation or injury-related. Would you take the chance, or should I just chalk her up as a very expensive & pretty pet??
Here are some photos:




P.S. She's about three years old now, and I was planning to breed her with my Mojave - BELs, baby!!
