fluffy's a standard grey and chinchi was a pink white.

their first litter were 2 boys and a girl - all hetero beige. fluffy is due to give birth very soon and my husband is trying to convince me that despite the fact that according to the genetic calculator there's an equal chance of having standard grey, pink white, beige & wilson white kit, they new kits will probably be all beige because the first litter was all beige.

is that true?

There is a 25% chance for each kit to be grey, beige, mosiac, or pink white.  Just like each kit has a 50% chance of being boy or girl.

she's been lurking around the bottom of the cage for two days now - she normally doesn't go there unless she's coming out in the evening. she's not due until the 26th but i think she might be a little early.

Hope to know the answer!!

Do you know your pink white is a homo or hetero??
If your pink white is a homo, that's the chance fall into 50% beige and 50% pink white!!

i think he was a hetero, based on that all the three babies we've got look like hetero beiges - they are quite dark with ginger bits!

i got to see i got to see! i went to check on her when i got up for work and she was grinding her teeth a little and she was grooming my face which she never ever does. so i stayed at home but i stayed in a different room just checking on her every 15 minutes. then at 7ish she started having contractions so i stayed with her and just before she squeezed the baby out, she ran to the front of the cage so i had full view! i took her to the vets two hours later as i wasn't sure if there were any more in but she was done.
