White kits

[big napper 3,573]

Mated my 2 dark polecats last year and had 9 polecat kits, mated the same pair this year and she's had 3 white kits with no colouring at all, how common is this, i was hoping to keep back a dark kit for myself

Its a first for me aswell mate, dont know about eye colour yet but both parents have black eyes, if one had been a jill i might have kept one but theyr all hobs, il let you know eyes when i see them mate.

Just makes it seem more wierd as her last litter was all polecats and she was mated to the same hob

Be very interesting to see what colour eyes are when they open 

[big napper 3,573]

How odd because albino is a recessive gene? They must be lucky! 

[big napper 3,573]

Hopefully be good workers & lucky for their new owners, (they will be if anything like their parents

[big napper 3,573]
