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...

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.

I have 3 WT het females with a WFWT male. They all get along well so we will see. I think if you introduce them really early and they feel like sisters it works. Mine were introduced at 8 weeks. I think if you can get a quad to work its very beneficial.
I will be asking $700 for my next 5th gen. Which I think is a great deal sence I paid $750 for both of my 4th gens :-/
They are very light. They are gorgeous! And my fav pair... shhhh.
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.

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.
