>>> Hello List Just a little survey to other breeders... 1. I was just wondering how many pairs the average or not so average breeder currently has paired for breeding purposes.<<< right now I haven't got any breeding pairs, although I have hopes for my apricot girl. I depends entirely on whether or not I can home them responsibly. If I don't think I can do that, I won't breed for a while. >>> 2. What colors are you breeding for... like myself pied colorpoints, pied with very little pied except on head or my pipe dream a reverse pied :-)<< originally I was going to breed for foxes and nutmegs. any of the colors produced with recessive e and spotteds and pieds of those colors. The first pair I got wasn't a "planned" breeding pair, and they produced some beautiful pieds in dove, black, argente cream and agouti. >>> 3. How many gerbils do you currently have total?<<< I currently have 16 gerbils. I am trying to home two of the pairs (both same sex pairs). >>> 4. Do you breed anything else?<<< Nope. >>> 5. Most desired color?<<< I guess my MOST desired color would be a pied silver nutmeg. I was extremely surprised to get THREE apricots in the FIRST litter Peaches had. I was not expceting it at all. But . . . if I do decide to start breeding again, I'm going to try for Grey Agouti and Slate and spotteds and pieds of those, as well as the recessive ee colors. none of those colors are seen in this area much at all. hope that wasn't too much info. :) RW ===== The GemStar Clan ---- Tina, Windy, Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi; Spring and Misty, Kibble and Nibble; Peaches and Cocoa and the babies. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
