I dont personally breed but i think in order to get an albino you would have to breed the albino het to an albino or breed the ablbino het to another albino het correct me if im wrong.

if what im reading is correct, your female is het for albino, and so is your male? If so you will have a 50/50 chance of it being albino, but if just the female is het, you will have 50/50 chance it will be het for albino then you'd have to make one of the offspring a male and then you have a 50/50 chance of getting an albino.

25% of you offspring will be normal no het. 50% of the offspring will be normal looking het for albino and the other 25% will be albino. The normal animals are called 66% possable het. You will only be able to tell if they are het by breeding them backout to the parents. Hope that helps
