What should the little boy be called?

We are trying to figure out what to call him, so far we are thinging about the following:
Furrytails' Bambam
Furrytails' Dino (we prefer this at the moment)
Furrytails' Vaffel
Furrytails' Frikadelle

He's 48 grams today, so he has lost a bit of weight, but he's quite active today, so it shouldn't be a problem :)

Update on the boy

He has now opened his eye :)
When Nick came by, we looked at it, and it had opened on it's own. It's a bit smaller than the other eye though. But I think it is normal. It looks like an eye on a newborn (a couple of hours old).
And here are some pictures of the little guy :)


Sorry about the quality, but it's very dark where he sits, so I had to blitz him and that's nearly never a good thing. I'll try and get some pictures of him to morrow in daylight. I prefer to take pictures of the animals, on some red couches we have, but this little guy is just not old enough to get over there yet.

And as you can see from the pictures, hes a Tan boy as I thought to begin with :)

Eye problem

So I called the fur breeder.
He told me to let it be, and it would be fine on it's own.
If I want to, I can use a q-tip and make they eyelid a little wet, to try and get the eye open.
When Nicholas comes by later we will try and do that :)

Ebony?

Okay, so I have no clue right now.
This morning I could swear he was medium tan, now he looks more like a medium ebony.

I have absolutely no idea what he is, other than medium -_-
The fur on hes feet looks kinda gray compared to his skin colour, and hes ears could look both grey and pink.
Normally when we get kits whit beige in them, they also have white in them, so their ears are near white and not pink.
Wilson White animals is quite easy to identify, but this one... And you would think it would be easy to see if the fur was brow or grey.
I guess that's the same thing that goes wrong, when people say their hetero beige animals are standard grey animals...

Other than that, his left eye won't open.
I can't decide if I should try and help him by soaking the eye a bit, or just leave it be.
We've had one female with this problem. With her it was both the eyes though. We helped her out, but then a lot of people commented and told me that was not the way to go.
Now I'm all confused. Some say help, some say help after a few hours to a day and then we have some that say do not help at all...
Conflicting info - whoopdedoo...
Thinking about calling a fur breeder, and ask what he wold do. He must have some info on the subject, and even though the hobby breeders I know are good breeders, they just do not have as many animals as a fur breeder...

Little new Tan boy

This morning between 5.00 and 9.00 Minipiv gave birth to a beautiful little Tan boy :)
He weighs 51 grams, and looks quite big, so I guess there's no more kits in her.

He looks quite new, so I will let Mini and the little boy have a couple of hours, before I begin taking any pictures of him :)

Madonna and Breeding

Madonna is turning out to have quite a pointy nose... To pointy for my liking to be honest. I still think Thea and Mini are beautiful animals, and I want my animals to look like them.

So I need to find a near baby-faces male, but still not over 700 grams (I still prefer the mails to be between 500-600 grams).

But it should be a lot easier to find a male to my liking, if he does not have to have a pointy nose.

And talking about pointy. I've notices that a lot of all black animals tend to be quite pointy and have a pear form, and not the brick-look you want when showing. It's kinda weird IMO. I'm not sure it's the same in Norway or Sweden. Might have something to do with the fact, that ebony can be quite a challenge to breed

I'm not sure if I want a chocolate or homo brown ebony though. I'm a sucker for the chocolate animals, but I think homo would be the best way to go, because I really want to try and focus on beige, white, ebony and velvet mutations. I would prefer to try and focus on brown ebony, pink white ebony, tov brown ebony and tov pw ebony.
Might sound weird, but on the other hand. It's much easier to work with 2-4 mutations than it is to work with a little of it all.

I'm also beginning to see, that we need to focus, if we want any hope of selling young in the future.
Too bad the std. grey isn't a colour people want. They are so beautiful, I especially like the very light grey animals. But they are near impossible to sell, and I just do not have the space to keep breeding and keeping all the std. kids we could get.
Don't get me wrong. I can keep the kits we get, if it should ever be a problem to sell them, but to focus on std. grey would be a breeding suicide.

That got a bit long - oh well... That's what you get when you feel like writing in english :)
