I was talking with a nutjob today who is well known in the reptile community so I wont say his name. He was trying to discourage me from buying 100% Het albino hogs stating "They have a dying gene and only live a couple of years". Is this so? I remember when albino gophers were just comming around alot of them had a high mortality rate until breeders were able to breed out the inbreeding. Can someone please tell me this is not true. I would really like to work with these but not if they are going to die?
I would really love to hear from some of you 100% het keepers as well as you other hog owners.
Thanks
Jason
