IMO, the problems with albino x albino pairings come from how related the animals are. Face it, ALL Kahl strain albinos are somewhat related, they can ALL trace their lineage back MULTIPLE ways to the same original albino.

A lot of breedings and outcrossings have been done. Again, IMO, if you were to get a male from a different source, ods are he'd be "less" related and could be fine to breed with your female(s). Many people believe albino to het is the best way to go, again, the het could have 50% unrelated to the albino line(s) genetics. Probably does help explain why those pairings do better.

Also, have read/heard albino females have a little bit harder time thermoregulating. And that a couple of degrees warmer seems to fix that problem.
