Sucker! Good for you! I just had a litter the 21st of Jan, and the colors are just starting to show. I bred Xap and Hunter. Looks as though 5 out of 9 babies are going to have blazes. One of the boys and one of the girls looks like they are basically going to be solid in color with perfect blazes. I am really happy, as I wanted to get into the blazed stuff. All of these babies carry blue, as well, so the next breeding I do should be fun! I am hoping for blazed blue rex babies.
