I had a request to post some pictures of my astrex mice, so here you go:
This is the male I had just after I got him, he was about 5 weeks old here (the other mouse is a hairless):
Unfortunetely this little guy didnt last long. He developed skin problems and passed away
This is the female Annabelle, she is a blue mismarked astrex:
This is a great shot of her scruffy coat:
Anna was mated with a black-tan smooth coated male who carried the colourpoint gene.
And now for the babies, so cute with no hair!
The curl appears quite suddenly around the itme that they eyes open:
They look like they have been attacked with the crimpers!!!
I dont have this lot anymore though. I had a run of bad luck with the mice and it kinda put me off a bit even though I used to breed them when at college. Plus I simply didnt have the time to give them the attention they needed. So mummy and two of her daughters are now living with a friend, four colourpoint astrex males went to stud and the rest live with friends/fmaily. Its nice as I still get to see them or get emailed updates.
Beautiful mice. A recommended pet if you have the time to play with them.
