Another quick peek today....they are 8 days old now It looks like at least 3 of the pups are brindle&white (woohooo), 1 black, some caramel/tan&white, some very pale tans....not as many whites as i first believed....when they are at around 10 or so days i will be able to tell their true colours There maybe other brindle types in there....paler brindling...tis still quite difficult to tell as the lighting is not very bright near their tank....and i dont like to take them away from Mum for too long

*LOL*...not so pink now....the change in colours in just 1 day is quite amazing The dark brindle pup is stunning (darker than mum)....2 brindle&whites like dad....a few caramel&whites, and a paler version of the caramel&white....some whites (but less than i thought) and the black with the white dot on its head A few more days and i'll get them out and take individual pics for ID purposes

I'm trying to think of a mousery name/breeder prefix...i've come up with so far:
Tiny Tigers Mousery Mighty Tiger Mousery Teeny Tots Mousery Minikin Mousery - this one sorta grabs me at present *L*
Any ideas?

I was sorta gobsmacked when i realised....i just thought it was another white one...it wasnt until i got them all out to take some pics that i seen the faint lines....
Will certainly be interesting to watch as it matures to see if the brindling will become more noticable or not

I've just sent off an email to the ANRA (Australian National Rodent Association) based in Brisbane...to look into becoming a registered breeder of mice. I'm hoping to find out more about showing mice as well once i get a reply. It's exciting *LOL* I'm gonna go with Minikin as my breeders prefix if its available....(i need 2 more though as backup) So this litter when named will all begin with the letter A (easier to keep track of who's who *L*) Names i've got so far (but not put to a pup) Aslan (M), Avanti (M/F), Aspen (M/F), Argon (M), Amber (F), Angel (F), Apples (F), Ariel (F), Arnika (F), Astro (M), Avalon (M), Aphodite (F) If ya think of any more...post away

They grow so fast! It is amazing.......Like the brindles and the white brindle is great, good luck with them all and I hope you get that prefix sorted out, the names sound good, If I think of any names starting with A I will post them for you.
