here are some pics of a couple potiential silkie keepers. the first two pics are of some broken patterend brindle silkies (shown with a non silkie), and the last three are of a brindle silkie that has the coolest face markings. all of thes are out of a non silkie tub, they just kinda popped up. enjoy.

Oh, now those are just too cute! I really like the one with the white blaze over it's eye. They all look like keepers to me.
 
We just came across about 15+ Silkies for free.. good times :) Before this, I had never heard of 'Silkies'... is the only thing different about them their coat..? Also, what are the genetics behind the silkies? They're all mean lil buggers, as are the rest of our mice.. oh well, all we need them to do is have babies.. though I would like to tame down some future generations of breeders...

awww they're so cute ^_^ but i say that about all small furry critters lol then i remember how much of an annoyance the mice were XD

i'll never breed my own again lol or keep them even but i liked the rats... meh i'm off topic lol
 
General rule of thumb: Feed the cutest ones first. Keep the ugly or plain for last. Otherwise you will find yourself overrun with hundred of cute silkies that you became attached too. :p

Lol I like that rule Rick. I was also wondering what is the difference between silkies and regular mice?
 
Lovely critters! Hope you don't mind, but maybe this mosue is a silky too? He's not especially shiny, but maybe that's only because of the color.

:-offtopic If he's not a silkie, does anyone know what the 'morph'is called then or is he just a mix with a 'feauture' showing half?
