Story: "Squiggles" 1510.06.25

"Squiggles: Excerpts from Nleimen's Journal"

1510.06.25


I'm making good progress with my mice. The first crossover litter is old enough now that I can see their colors. Six of the eight pups are fawn, and two are golden. If I'm figuring the genetics right, then the breakdown should be something like:
2 mice: fawn/fawn
4 mice: fawn/golden (expressing as fawn)
2 mice: golden/golden


Now that I have an idea how the fawn/golden colors interact, I can start trying to cross the golden mice with the fawn Squiggle Mice. I am running low on space, though, and it's hard to keep up with all this extra work while still studying for school. When I get enough fawn Squiggles to sell to Sraffi, maybe I can hire an assistant.
