Awww I am so happy Winter and Solace had their pups. I thought they were the cutest couple when you posted them
My guess is they are BEW, Cream, or Dove

They look all red / pink eyed, so BEW is ruled out. Probably going to be lilacs / doves / sapphires etc

Hi All, I have a surprise for u! Some of their eyes have turn sooo dark that it's almost black! These are 8 days old pics. I think their coats are Grey(lilac/dove/saphire), Whites (REW/BEW), Creams (Eyes are darkest almost black) www.dropshots.com/day.php?userid=107602&cdate=20060429What do u think? How do u explain these changes? I am sooo excited.... Can't wait for em to grow bigger....

i think that they've just got those nice dark ruby eye that their parents have so they are all pp (because winter and solace are pp, it is impossible for them to produce a black eyed pup)

My gerbil Miles came from a litter of BEW, their eyes appeared to be really black and not just liver red but I didn't look to close. Congrats. I would love a cream pups, to bad I live accross the planet. I love the way you can tell how dark one pup's eyes have gotten. That is the cutest litter

Hi All, Appreciate your comments. I've decided to put the parents pics that taken in sunlight. This is Dad, Winter. His coat looks creamy n silvery. Up close This is Mom, Solace Solace has some color difference here. It's always been there and I did try to remove it. Their kids....haha they have 4 boys n 1 gal! Pups with interesting eye pigments. I am dying to find out Winter n Solace's colors n gene code. But I am not sure their kids are helping me with that cos their colors are equally hard to decide. I only know there's 2 greys/silver (My guess is Lilac, Saphire or Dove) I am not sure whether the rests are very dark eyed REWs? I'm pretty sure they can't be PEW cos their eyes ain't pink Thanks again all....u have been of great help.

hi gerbilnannie ,
I'm pretty sure u don't have any silver nutmegs in there . My best guess is that the pups are 3 whites , 1 dove 1 lilac . Winter looks like a very light dove to me . I've seen light doves before . He looks like that . I think both of them definately have' pp ' and 'a'each . But its very confusing ... You took them from the tank at the front of pauline's shop , right ? There were all REWs/PEWs .

REW's have a bluish ring around the pupil in the eyelid. If some of your white pups have it you can breed them into an agouti line to get all the gg genes. Also you can breed your PEW's with blacks to get Siamese in the third generation, if you follow my previous suggestions about starting Winter breeding with a good agouti female. You have all the genes there to get all the colours you want, You just have to learn to combine them in ways that produce variety! It will happen eventually, I'm sure. Keep trying!
