Re: What would you do?

Hello bec, Well, when it comes to regular Lutinos, there isnt very much you can get. Do you know if she is split to blue? Well, as for pairing, if you pair her with a blue male you will only get green/blue babies and the males will be split to ino. Here are some predictions... Green/ino x Lutino 50%...

If you dont want to spend too much money and want a couple of color posibilities, I would suggest getting a Grey-green/blue female to get... 25% Green/blue 25% Grey-green/blue 25% Grey 25% Blue males and females. or pair him wi...

If one of them is blue then he definately is /blue but if they were both /blue then you have 50/50 chance that he is /blue. If you breed him with a...
