I say we need to get a male mosaic and put him with two girls.
one standard grey, and one high generation wfb.

let that answer our questions about what produces what.

It will still be random Like a box of chocolates.. You never know what you're going to get.

Good idea Jennifer. I volunteer to do that.
Next female 5th ge wf I get from my 4th gen pair I will keep and get her a grey "sister". I think it would be interesting to do a quad with that idea and add a "mosaic het" in there as well. Some say a grey with a mosaic parent when paired to a mosaic helps throw more mosaics.

I'll do it. A 5th gen wf, grey, and "mosaic het", with a mosaic male mate.
We'll see what happens...

Ok, am I the only one who is confused and has a headache trying to understand all this???? Boy, glad I don't breed! lol

I think that would be an interesting trial, but isn't fairly difficult to make a quad work? High risk of baby steeling and what-not?

I agree. Why not just do 2 pairs? Maybe a mosaic with 2 "hets"(to prove there is no such thing as a coincidence) and another mosaic with a 5 gen WFB and a standard. I thinks it's better to be safe then sorry. Otherwise you might end up with a dominant female and she won't let the others have babies(just one of MANY possible problems). That would defeat the purpose. :\

BTW, how much does a 5 gen WFB cost? Out of curiosity.

I was going to pair one of my future mosaic joeys with a leu or a high gen WFB, so I might want on your waiting list.

My wf pair are my fav. too!

Let us know how your quad does!

I think we need to get several people involved (or at least several glider groupings) so we'll get more well rounded results.

*looks at pic and faints*

They're beautiful!

I'm definately keeping them on my list of gliders to get in the future. Now, I've just gotta hurry up and finish paying for the mosaic boy I'm getting next month, lol.

I have a few different pairings with my mosaics. Here are current stats:

Mosaic with a mosaic "het":
1 mosaic

Mosaic with 2+ gen wf:
3 wf
1 gray
2 mosaic
1 wf mosaic

Mosaic with gray:
4 gray
4 mosaics

Mosaic with 3rd gen wf:
2 wf
1 wf mosaic

So far, it has been pretty random and all averages out to 50% mosaic babies when a mosaic is paired to a non-mosaic.

Awww...look at my little Dewie!! He is sooo cute.

Jenn, that is Mac's older brother!!

John...it is going to be so interesting to see what happens.

For those that don't know...

Mine and John's 3rd gen wfbs are brother and sister.

Our mosaics are also brother and sister.

WFB 3rd Gen and Tinkerbelle(Mosaic) have had 5 joeys
4 WFB Mosaic
1 WFB

My Mosaic Pascal is with a Leu and had one dark ringtail mosaic = only one baby

My Mosaic Mallory with a 1st gen WFB male.
Neither joeys were WFB. One was mosaic and one normal.

My Mosaic Venus who is a 100% het for Leu also has had two mosaics, one Leucistic and one 100% het Leu Her two daughters are over one year and I have not bred them with any male yet. Perhaps I will let them breed in the future. Just not sure what to put them with.

My glider Taz has been with two wfb girls
He has had two wfb babies.
I put him with a platinum glider, WFB, 50% het Leu and got a baby with back white feet so he is most likely a mosaic. T

One of my females, China Doll who is a mosaic has a joey in pouch. She is with a 3rd gen wfb male. He carries the Sunkissed so this baby is most likely to be a sunkissed WFB and hopefully a mosaic too.

I think how light the mosaic offspring will be is just as random as having a very light wfb out of a pair of wfb's. Not all of them are really light and about out of every four, you have this one that is really light.
