I was pulling ASFs to take to an expo today.

And as I was sexing juvies in my grow out tub, I noticed that one of them only has 3 legs... at first I thought it had been chewed off, but when I looked closer I could see the perfectly round belly, and the leg bones kicking from under the skin.

Creepy...

And when I got to the show I noticed that one of the rats I had taken had no ears... WTF?

Anyone else seen something similar. I have heard of the sort of *ratty* looking failure to thrive ASFs, but not of deformed ones.

I put babes in this tub from 4 different breeding groups, so I cannot (at this time locate where they came from. But all my ASFs are from an original 2.2 pairing I got, and I am uncertain as to their genetics.
