I remember a long while back there was a topic (cannot find it in archives) about what best pairs should be put together for producing snows. The topic shun against a snow x snow breeding. For the life of me I cannot remember what explanation was given as to why. Does anyone remember this or have some info to shed on snow x snow?

I imagine what it comes down to is the weekness or the albino gene I havnt heard of to many problems with the anery gene. I think it all depened on how you do it. I know a few people that have produced albinoxalbino litters and all the offspring were healthy and did great, no one eyes or anything of the sort and I personally think the albinoxalbino breedings produce nicer offspring, they were very carefull in how they did things, the adults were as unrelated as possible produced from
het x het breedings the animals were also raised at a proper growth rate(not power feed) and and breed at 3-4yrs of age for the first time. power feeding weekens the adults health wise, no differant then if you took a human child and feed them 7 or 8 times a day instead of 3 their gong to have all kinds of health problems later on. if you got two animals produced by het breedings and as unrelated as possible raise them at a proper rate I personally wouldnt see a problem. maybe there is some kind of problem mixing the anery x albino genes is why people were saying not to do it but I have never heard of any, Ive only heard of problems with the albino gene, anyway I hope thishas been some kind of help

I think alot of the "don't do it" with albino to albino and in this case snow to snow is greed. People who are producing these regularly do not want to see someone produce a large litter thus making them readily available for that short time frame. I as you have seen several albino to albino litters with no still borns and no visible illnesses of any kind. I do agree though that if you are going to do a snow to snow breeding you need to find the farthest apart in relation as possible pair to help keep the genetics stronger.
