Ewan: She is from a black-eyed white line, but only one in every few hundred seems to come out like her. I may be able to make them more consistently with more selection. Time will tell.
rubysnake: Nice mice! The ones with the stripes are called brindleds, we have a lot of those too
You can get a lot of variation in the colour of the stripes ranging from black, brown and many shades of grey (all with specific labels used by the mouse fanciers) and also in the ginger background ranging from rich ginger through to almost white. The amount of striping ranges from barely there at all through to completely coloured with just a tiny amount of the background ginger colour showing. They can also be more stripey or more blotchy.
Asharee: The odd-eyed is pretty cool
We make lots of ruby-black odd-eyed, but pink-ruby is very rare. We have made thousands of minks over quite a number of generations
The molt patterns are very cool, even if only temporary
Sometimes they end up looking like racing stripes
Here are pictures of a range of our brindleds, all in black, just to show the variation in the amount of brindling (not showing any variation in colour)
Barely brindled
Slightly more brindling.
This boy is what I would describe as a typical brindled mouse.
Heavily-marked brindleds. We produce a lot with this amount of brindling, and the patterns can get interesting at this level.
Slightly more brindling again...
This final mouse has almost full brindling dorsally and on his left side, with a few larger patches of base colour on his right.
