These were produced from a female quad het bred to male Iowa and Nebraska albinos. There were no Iowas produced so the babies are possible het for Iowa albino.

Those babies are sweet! It seems you are having a great season, congradulations on all your killer 08 litters so far.

Scott, are the nebraska albino and iowa albino genes at two separate loci? and is the xmas homozygous for both?

Thanks guys. The Nebraska and Iowa albinos are incompatible, breeding these together produces double hets for both strains. I did this cross w/ a high red Iowa albino a few years back, bred the double hets back to each other and (regretfully) did not hold any back. I did manage to reacquire some of these and their offspring, which were actually bred to the Quad het this year.
If I kept everything I wanted to keep I would have about a thousand animals lol.

PS The xmas albino is an offshoot of the Iowa strain, compatible w/ Iowa strains, incompatible w/ Nebraskas. These were initially produced accidently, they looked normal at birth but gained color as they matured.
