Cindy
|
Cindy was one of our first born in this color range. She is a "Brown."As the name implies, brown hedgehogs have a quill with a white with a brown band on it. The brown band is surrounded by a beautiful mulcha band on both the top and bottom. Also, if you look closely, you may see a blue ring surrounding Cindy's eyes. This is called a scolara.
She is the mother of one of our favorite blood lines. Cindy's mother is Ruby (Colorado) and father is Kudu (ANCR).
We have been trying to breed for this color range for the last two years and so far have been pretty successful with isolating the genes involved.
For more information on the genetics of this beautiful color let us know. We are currently working with Debra Mauzy-Melitz, a geneticist from Wisconsin to map out this gene.
