I love this hobby
The collection has been keeping me quite busy over he last 11 days. The two "halves" of my collection pretty much dovetail together such that (from a breeding standpoint) only one side is keeping me busy at a time but over the last 11 days, both sides were quite active....
On the BCI side....
Five females dropped their litters...
16 babies from DH Snow x TH Moonglow - including 3 Moonglows, 1 Sunglow, 1 Albino, several Ghost/Aneries, a hypo and several normals. Any not showing Albino and/orAnery are 66% het for that trait.
25 babies from a Albino pos het Snow x Anery pos het Snow. Only the Anery did prove to be het snow as there were 11 Albino het Snow and 14 DH Snow.
5 babies from a Pastel Motley x Coral Albino - 2 Pastel Motleys het Coral Albino and 3 Het Coral Albino. (got to watch this litter being born from start to finish)
2 more litters were all slugs and non viable babies
That leaves 7 more possible BCI females one of which I'm certain is not gravid.
On the BRB side....
Starting April 30th, had 7 females have their POS's. One each day except 5/3, 6 and 8. That puts 7 females due within a 10 day period at the end of August. That's gonna be one busy time!!!
The BRB lineup of due dates as it is today.....
07/22 Wilma x Fred - need I say more, well known for stunning babies from this pair.
07/28 Ann x Fluffy - More Calico offspring
08/02 Daisey x Mickey - Het Hypo's
08/07 Scarlett x Rhett - Will Bird stock
(no mating pic available)
A little break
08/25 Tink x Phoenix - repeat of last years nice high red litter
08/26 Yang x Ying - a pair of my 2005 babies that came back for boarding/breeding
08/27 Betty x Fred - proven nice high color (and pattern) babies
08/29 Clover x Rusty - new first time pairing (Clover is proven, Rusty's first time)
08/30 Tawney x Dusty - Anery and het Anery babies
(no mating pic available)
09/01 Vivian x Rhett - More Will Bird stock
09/03 Lily x Lon - 2006 holdbacks for pattern "Blush" - first time I've bred two blush animals.
(no mating pic available)
10 more BRB pairs on the list w/o POS yet, three of which have no activity noted and look like they will not go at all. My end of BRB mating season is rapidly approaching. I figure maybe another month to wrap up the pairs still actively breeding. Much longer than that will put that litter past my historical latest BRB litter ever. Not impossible, just not likely.
