we have been goofing around with some Wild Stripe Balls for a few generations now. they don't look like Genetic Stripes, but you know, normal balls, that are striped.

genetically i don't know what goes on, perhaps with such small clutches Balls just don't explain themselves as quickly as something like a Burm with 65 babies at a time. we have bred our Wild Stripes a number of times, sometimes you get nothing, sometimes you get one Stripe baby, sometimes you get partial Stripes...

a few years ago we crossed the Wild Stripe and Ghost, making "double hets". i wasn't sure about that, having the wild stripe carry through a "het" generation, but this year we hatched this Ghost Wild Stripe from breeding those double hets back together. makes for a great looking animal.

we also crossed the stripe into Lessers, Pins, and others, it makes for a nice bonus gene : )
