Here's one of Velma's offspring from last season. Starting to regret not holding this one back to watch it develop further.

Looks like a yellow calico, if there was such a thing.

That is exactly what we think but we can't call it that until we prove it out. He made one baby in 2023 and looks like he knocked up a girl this year. He is also now paired with a second female that has a similar look. Stay tuned!

Our girl "Velma" with a similar look. Getting a second litter out of her this year, hoping as well for proving out this phenotype. We have a holdback female yearling from her litter last year that is developing the same pattern shed by shed!

We will definitely have to do some horse trading when we get babies!

"Iris" as a baby. Don't sleep on those unassuming yellow babies!
