Questions about dumbo rat genetics
I know, I need to get pictures...shaddup...=) I promise I will; I SERIOUSLY have some of the cutest babies right now. =D
So one of my breeder boys* is a blaze dumbo and so, of course, many of his babies have dumbo ears.
Is dumbo ears like a co-dom thing that can combine with berkie/hooded/whatever or am I not guessing the gene correctly? =)
*I have two breeder boys in one tub. I know I only need one, but I ended up with two and um...and kinda having a hard time feeding one off. Anywho, girls get "double-trouble" with them, so I'm guessing the mixed litters I'm seeing are part the black hooded boy ("Tom Cruise") and part dumbo ("Dumbo" - great imagination, I know...I rarely name rodents).
0.1 ball python (Cleo), 0.1 surinam bcc (Carmen)
1.0 sunglow motley corn (Jenson), 1.0 albino burmese (Lourdes)
1.0 cat (Nicky), some mooses and ratters, 1.0 hubby (Rick)

Re: Questions about dumbo rat genetics
Dumbo is a simple recessive. I don't know if you can have a mixed litter sired by two different fathers. I know it's possible in snakes, but I'm not sure how rats would work. I'm not entirely sure about that.
As to the litter of dumbos, I have an entire litter of dumbos from a dumbo x dumbo breeding. They're all either blue or siamese! Well, there is one black girl, I think she's a keeper!
Oh, I have a dumbo named dumbo. But she's russian blue, so it was fitting. I also have a Gumbo, and a gumdrop that are both siamese just to make things confusing!

You would make my day if you posted babie siamese dumbos and blues!!! I want a siamese very badly. My next male will be a siamese dumbo.
Congrats on the cute babies Cass! I have some cute babie rats, and they have pics that I need to post.
