This 18 month old espoused female and mother of two litters seems to be changing her colors. I have attached photos and would enjoy reading the reactions or causes. Across the shoulders: imgur.com/qI07bMsHind side: imgur.com/OlbenpJShe looks like a possum: imgur.com/zqb97GK |

Ha ha - sometimes when they moult as they age - they can stay moulting for longer so it looks weirder. Moulting is an energy-intensive process and sometimes they get trapped in mid-moult for longer so the colours look more dramatic.
Hopefully that is all it is - and the straight lines suggest it could be.

Is she returning to normal yet - this Lilac?

Is she returning to normal yet - this Lilac? I'll let you know when that happens. So far she's still two-toned. |

Female Lilacs often fade unevenly, especially if they've been used in breeding. It seems to be a hormonal thing. They typically don't get darker again.
