Question about breeding.. - 07/27/08 03:53 AM
I have a question for all of you and hopefully you can help me understand this a little better.
In a topic of conversation I was having with someone who has gliders, they had mentioned that they were told that it was wrong to breed Leucistics to Leucistics. They had bought their Leucistic females for the purpose of breeding to a Leucistic male, but were told they couldn't and shouldn't and decided then to get rid of their females.
Can someone tell me why this is dangerous? Or wrong?
He mentioned something about inbreeding, but I don't quite understand the concept of inbreeding if the animals aren't coming from the same parents or grandprents, even.
