Tan Triumph or Tan Tragedy??? Empty Tan Triumph or Tan Tragedy???

Post by tinyhartmouseries Sun Dec 30, 2012 4:50 pm

I bred my best black tan doe to her brother, who had dubious type but was quite large... I was hoping that mom would impart at least a bit of type to a new litter of black tans....
After she'd been in with her mate for several month with a weight gain of only 3 grams, I found one PE male baby in with them one day. It was the only "litter" that ever took me by surprise! She was a decent mother, but has since never produced again, and is now nearing a year.
This baby is now around 2.5 months old. He is 57g, has small ears, no taper to his tail set, and has a less than appealing structure overall. However...his tan is the most clear, darkest, 100% American tan I've ever seen in my mousery on a PE mouse. He doesn't even have much of a chin spot. Now, if only he was a gorgeously typed black tan. I don't know whether to *headdesk* or jump for joy. I suppose I could do both at once. Sad Surprised

Here he is!

This pic is a little washed out but shows you that his tan is pretty even too.

(Oh, gorgeaous! Lilac tan, do you think?) If you want typey black tans, breed him to a big, black doe! Then breed each generation back to the big, black doe so they will attain her size and type.

Hey Ann! Thank you! He is pink eyed black tan, whether that is lilac or dove. I have bred black tans for awhile now and have been having trouble getting my mice to produce black tan does.

Yes. It's a peculiar and inconvenient phenomenon.

He just produced a litter, all of whom are spoken for, or I am keeping ATM. They look good, with one real shocker of a silver tan doe!
Thanks everyone!!!
