They are very unique and only a couple others alive that are like them. This, we believe, is due to the genes that were bred together. These two were not intentionally bred for, they are just a product of a pairing I had. I will not be breeding that pair any longer and after testing has been done (first round anyway) it has been recommended for us (those who breed in general) not to breed black face lines to black face lines unless the are a MINIMUM of EIGHT generations out. We will be breeding these little ones to gliders that do NOT have any black face in their lineage to see if it is something that can be bred out or not. These are photos that were just taken today. Seymour (the male) weighs 71g and Sevan (the female) weighs 66g Peggy Critter Love Critter Love� Diet Center If you want to know what a person is like, watch how he treats others.

They're both still cute, I hope they remain healthy & you're breeding goals are successful. - Hutch Morgana (11/15) Arthur (11/15-3/24) Merlin (11/15-9/23) Gwynevere (11/15-4/22) The epic saga begins here!

By breeding two double rex coat gene animals together. Not something I would want with a glider. They look different for sure. Seymour is actually a cute little guy and although Sevan is not the cutest, I am thankful they are both very healthy.
