>>those are just baby dums youd be able to tell if they were hybrid, even 1st gen dum/mad ground crosses have alot of differances then pure ones, my guess would be retained sperm n your male columbian just got her to ovulate

>>>>I was cleaning out rodent cages late Tuesday Night and walked past my female Dum to find these 2 babies. Low birthing but a couple of nice ones. Here's the real question? Who's the father? I got mom mid August of 08. I don't have a male Dum... I did put mom with my male Salmon Hypo in January when she appeared to be ovulating. He corted the heck out of her. Tail wraps, copulation and the whole nine yards (I do have pics). I've been told that they can retain sperm for several months but I can't get positive confirmation that she was with a male before I got her. I guess I'm going to be growing these two up to see what happens. If they increase in color as they get older like Salmon Hypo Columbinas then I might be able to assume that the Salmon was the dad. Yep, I know, everybody says impossible. Well, as I recall, years ago they used to say that about kings/corns, Bloods/Balls, Macklotts/Carpets, GRREEN TREES/Carpets, Burms/Retics, Carpets/Balls and many others too. Anyway, enjoy and don't beat me up for stating my opinion since we really won't know unless I put the Salmon Hypo and Dum together next year and get babies again... Only time will tell....
