Breeding pure yellow hamster

[Ryancslee]

This is Ryan here from Malaysia, may I know get your all advise about breed yellow hamster? In our country do not have pure yellow hamster at the moment, and we have multi gene carry To gene hamster, and Tortoiseshell hamster.



Name Genotype

1. Yellow ToTo (females); ToY (males)

2. Honey ppToTo/ppToY

3. Smoke Pearl dgdgToTo/dgdgToY

4. Silver Gray Pearl Sg-ToTo/Sg-ToY



Question 1:

I have a silver gray pearl male hamster (SgSg ToY ee), I used this male hamster mating with black banded female hamster (aa Baba), according to the theory, all the female pups should be Tortoiseshell, may I how to write the genotype code for those pups of female Tortoiseshell? because I plan to use those Tortoiseshell hamster breeding for next generation, and I would like make clear of it's genotype before mating. 😊; and I feel strange that those male pups do not have yellow, might be mix with Sg silver base are difficult breed pure yellow hamster.



addition information: I confirmed that my silver gray pearl male hamster do not carrying black gene.



Question 2:

May I understand correctly for yellow hamster as? the genotype table show that yellow genotype is ToTo/ ToY, does means that it do not carry another pair gene of other color, only carrying ToTo/ ToY gene? if the yellow hamster carrying another color gene like pp will be Honey, carrying dgdg will be smoke pearl. etc



Question 3:

If the concept in question 2 is correct for "yellow hamster do not carry another pair gene of other color, only carrying ToTo/ ToY gene." ; then for Golden hamster be born because of their parent's color gene can't be pair of color, let said I use a Tortoiseshell Golden hamster mating with golden hamster, do you think I have a high probability breed male pure yellow? may I know whether this concept workable?



will the result of pups: all golden hamster except 25% male yellow?

Thank you again for your advise and support.



Best Regards,
