I have never lost such a valuable litter, especially a first time litter, but many of us can relate to your experience. You never get used to it and it always sucks. The litter is very interesting. First of all no Lucy unless you are holding out on us. The pattern of the hypo Motley arabesque is interesing. It certainly does seem that the hypo gene doesn't have much effect on the arabesque gene and thus other hypo arabesque combos might be very interesting.
I know you ultrasound your females. I am wondering if you go back and look at your four litters where all babies came out dead if there is any common factor like early delivery, age of female, number of babies for the size of the female, size of the babies or something else that is present in the 4 litters.
We have been fortunate enough to have several excellent posts by Amanda Burke and Jeff Ronne recently and hopefully with your extensive experience you can shed some light on this unfortunate litter.
Finally, I am assuimg by the way you describe them that there is no special name for these combinations that you are giving them other than the descriptive name using the morphs present.
Sorry that the litter died but the information from it is usefull. Thanks for sharing the information with us.
