One eye or two he's still a very good looking albino and I think it's great that he'll be able to grow up and enjoy life despite his disability and not just be put down. The eye's not even going effect his behavior. Maybe you could get him a little patch and he can really be one eyed Willy for Halloween! The female Hypo isn't too shaby either.

Welcome to the community and don't worry about the first response. The one eyed issue is a big deal with the albinos and some people feel stronger then others about the subject but you clearly stated he will not be bred so it sounds like your already aware of the repercussions. Plus,technically he's not a one eyed genetic defect. I've seen albinos born with the buldgy eye in both Strains, whicn is an inffection most of the time and with tratment right away the eye can totally get better and you could never even tell it was buldgy at one time. Now, it would be a different story if it was born without the eye, but he had two when born.

Goodluck with them and keep us updated with pix!
