Half Dwarf Albino Granites

ArtInScales Jun 03, 2010 08:16 PM

There are finally all out of the eggs. They started pipping Saturday and the last one came out today. These are F2's and range in weight from 71 grams to 80 grams, they are tiny. Normal sized burms weigh around 150 grams when they hatch.

For those that haven't heard about half dwarf burms. In 2007, we bred a dwarf male to an albino granite female. The babies only weighed 90 to 105 grams and males only reached 6 feet and females 8 feet, they reached that size last year and have stopped growing.

We did a breeder loan with Justin McBrayer because he lost his male at the beginning of the breeding season and here is the result.

Here is one of the half dwarf albino granites.

Half dwarf albino 66% het granite.

Half dwarf granite 66% het albino.

Half dwarf 66% het albino granite.

There are 2 albino granites (both males), 2 granites (both females), 4 albinos (2 males, 2 females) and 9 66% poss hets (7 males, 2 females).

Congratulations Randy, Michelle & Justin! It's nice to finally see a double morph half-dwarf. It's also nice to see that the half-dwarves are staying in the same size range as the dwarves.

Ya'll keep up the good, hard, work!

Have a great day!

Great job. The half dwarfs are great animals that should help solve a lot of the hardships associated with the full sized burms.
