I didn't know Galangal was a Tan! If you get any blue foxes out of this litter I am definitely interested.

Yay! 6 black-eyed pups born today. We were a little worried as Monroe was quite big and feeling uncomfortable, so were relieved that they've been born. All pups are tailed but carry manx. I didn't realise until the pregnancy showed the marking but Monroe is a fox, so I expect that most of the litter will be fox/tan. Galangal's tan isn't great so I don't expect rich colouring but it will be a contrast.
Janette, only the c-dilutes are foxes, so if there are any blue bone you may get a fox, otherwise they will be blue tan.

Oops, forgot about that. Blue tan would also be awesome, and a blue bone fox sounds impossibly beautiful. But this is interesting, because I'm 99% sure that Poseidon, Monroe's brother, is also a fox (he's bone, so the contrast is almost impossible to tell, but on good days I can spot it). If two littermates are fox, means that Niobe may be fox too, it's just impossible to tell since she's a himi. Their mom was a PEW so I guess an a(t) gene was lurking underneath there. Another wildcard that could show up in Niobe and Bihar's litter! So, 6 + 9 + 4 = 19 babies! What a great crop of Mousekateers mice.

19 babies! They will keep your hands full. I have 9 5 day olds and another litter due any day.
