This litter did not have the number of aberrancies as last year as I used a different male as a test. The parents to this litter were not aberrant. The female produced a very small litter of 5 babies last year with 3 aberrant babies ranging from extreme to slightly aberrant, but this was with my 2005 male that showed a lot of aberrancies. I was trying to find out if aberrant babies can be produced with non aberrant parents--I am assuming that the male used this year did not boost the "cyclone" aberrancy traits....Here is a picture of the parents of this years first litter...





Parents of last years "Extreme" Cyclones (both litters)









The interesting thing is aberrant babies were produced, just not like last year where both the female and male contributed the cyclone traits (I call them F2). This year the Cyclone traits were passed on by only the female...(Like in F1)

I hope that makes sense I am getting tired.....
