ferret15 beat me too it, yup its a silver, were the parents the same colour?, as you never mate silver to silver, that would explain lumps maybe?

Stubby,

 

 

<start newbie who knows nothing>

why can't you cross silver on silver? Surely it is just a colour, dominant or regressive and nothing more?

 

The lumps on the back sound like Osteodystrophy, did they also have breathing probs and a seal like walk?

you hit the nail on the head, as for breeding silver to silver some say you cant it causes deformitys (sp) but i now lads who have breed them for years with only a couple of deformed kits .

[stubby 175]

heds, its just what I was told when I got my silvers, and from past experience of breeding birds and studing generics,

 

quote;breed them for years with only a couple of deformed kits .

 

surely as a breeder of any animal you should be looking at breeding 0% deformed offspring, rather than having the attitude of, well its only a couple deformed

 

just because a deformaty dosent show, dont mean it aint there....

 

how many times have we heard over the last month, stories of, the jill ate the kitts at 8wks old!!!! whats wrong, with most answers being, its natures way.....

 

maybe not, maybe its our interfearance on any animal to change its looks/coat/size/colour etc that is breeding this trait into our stock
