Shawn, I know exactly what you're talking about. Last year at this time I had a DH Snow litter that along with normal hets and anerys there was one snow and five albinos. All of the albinos looked very bloated and were not active as the normals and anerys were. Day after day I witnessed the albinos and then the snow die until finally only two albinos survived. Shortly afterwards Jeremy Stone wrote a great post here talking about how albinos have a very high mortality rate especially when born early. The reason being they have an extremely hard time absorbing their yolk sacs. I don't think there is much you can do except make sure they are separated individually from the rest so there is less stress until they grow a little stronger. You'll know they're going to make it after a week goes by. The albino gene is no doubt weeker in this area so I'm sure the Sunglows fall into this picture as well. I wish you luck with them.
