awesome lacies tibor good luck with them ....

Hmm...that is interesting. While I'm not studied in the genetics behind albinism, I was always under the impression that it was cused by a recessive gene. I always thought that this was a situation in which the presence of albinism indicated a recessive-recessive genotype, thereby guaranteeing that all of the offspring will have the same appearance as both parents (recessive-recessive crossed with recessive-recessive equals recessive-recessive offspring).

Well, I guess I was wrong about that. Either that, or this is the feeder equivalent of your wife's babies looking way too much like the mailman.

Those are albinos, right? Or are they just white? I suspect that could make a difference.

Anyway, though this is clearly sort off off-topic, I would be a tad bit interesting in hearing about mouse genetics, the genetic basis behind albinism and leucistism in mice, and how this managed to happen with your feeders.
