Thats too bad the Hets didn't work out, but you have a nice healthy litter to be proud of.

Sorry to hear about your hets, but congrats on the great litter!

it's not impossible not to get albinos in a litter of that size. I heard of a litter with an actual Albino to a proven het and out of a litter in the 20's they only got 1 Albino. The odds gods just to make it happen sometimes.

Congrats!!!!

Nice looking pile of babies and like Reuben said, not for certain they are not hets and even if oine is not the other may be. Proving hets can be afrustrating, long process. That's why when possible I like to go with het to visual, better odds of proving it out on the very first try.

I've got several possibles I'm trying to prove out this year, got my fingers crossed for each and every one of them.

Was is sold as a possible Het or definite Het ?

Weird to say those two things together, sorry and congrats, but I'm happy you had a nice, healthy litter... bummer that the het didn't prove. I had the same problem, two years in a row and two healthy litters later, all I proved was that my female was NOT het albino. This year I finally did get my albinos, but with a different mom of course.
At least, as someone else said, you can say what your babies are for sure right? Lookin' good too...
Congratulations, the first litter is always special... but I still get that warm fuzzy feeling every single time!
