I have also read that they are slightly larger than their "cousins." So, can they breed other colors and are they a different type? Freddie and Barnabus Caramel neutered males

Grey's and caramels are different subspecies. Dawn Be patient, and Trust your journey.... Grace Ruby Mom Dad Fiona, Dot and Stewie wish I could turn back time... Miss you

The male will be sterile the females just carry the gene. People have worked very hard to clean up the sterility you won't be able to sell them as breeding stock.

If you breed a Caramel to a regular glider you will get sterile males and females that carry the gene for sterility.

With you luck with whatever you decide. Support can always be found here. Lives with: 1 God 1 dog, (Willow) 1 Sugie, (Ollie) R.I.P. Lulu (2/28/12-10/13/17) R.I.P. Skadoosh (2/28/12-3/26/18)
