    Deforming in the mouth?

    Most people disagreed that it could be connected to the albino gene but I have seen many instances of eye deformities (and now I'm seeing overbite) in albino and het albino animals, so it COULD be related to the gene.
    Perhaps those two animals are too closely related, as this can cause an increase in deformities or diseases. You might want to avoid repeating the pairing next year because of the potential for more deformities, but it could also be good to repeat and see if it was a fluke. It's all about the risk you're willing to take.
    Hopefully the babies will manage to eat well :/
    Good luck and sorry for the unfortunate occurrence ):
    We have another clutch in the incubator that is with the same dad, but different female. Both of them have the albino gene. But I don't have a bad feeling about that clutch

    I honestly have no idea how a baby is supposed to eat with no under jaw. Two of the ones that are out have no under jaw. One kinda does. This is challenging enough already. Especially for only being our second
    Time breeding. I don't know what to do
