colour morphs

[j.pidge]

hi, i was just wondering if you can get as many colour morphs in exotic mammals as you can in reptiles and if you could please could you put photo's of your mammals up so i could see the range

what mamals as hedgehogs have pinto ermmm there are other things like rabbits each have individual colours and chinchillas do ect ect every animal has a different marking.

You'd have to name your mammal for a decent answer to that. Small mammals like mice, rats, hamsters and gerbils have a huge variety of colour, markings and coat types since they are selectively bred for show. The more exotic the mammal the fewer colour variations you usually get since they have not long been domestically bred, which is when the mutations pop up and are reproduced on purpose. Albino is the most common mutation in all animals as far as I'm aware (occuring in the wild too).

I have to agree with the above

you would have to name the specific mammal your interested in for the right answer on this one

hiya tbh from when ive spoken to people with exotic mammals they dont seem to like mutations and want to keep the lines pure without colour morphs.... personaly i like colour mutations in any animal aslong as its not detrimental to the animals health like some reptile mutations, the most common exotic mutuation is albino though.

you can get colour morphs in gliders but they are not available in the country so would more than likely have to import them which would mean quaranteen

most mutations are albino but in more commonly kept exotics such as skunks, sugar gliders, pygmy hedgehogs and raccoons there are various other colours.
no sugar glider mutations are in the uk yet from what ive heard on here and i wouldnt think any raccoon colours are here yet but you never know.
as for hedgehog theres are loooadsss of colours and in skunks there a few aswel.
