Re: IRN MUTATION TERMS & CALCULATOR

HI GLENN!
This is only day 10 with them,
so I haven't known IRN's very long.
It's a wonderful world thus far.
Could you tell me what it'd mean either way?

Many Thanks-
Jackie

Re: IRN MUTATION TERMS & CALCULATOR

I thought Id just add this question here. IS IT TYPICALLY TO HAVE SPLOTCHES of COLOR ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TAIL? IS THERE A TERM FOR IT, DOES IT AFFECT THE MUTATION TERM? http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa443/RicksterBoy/Ricky0629111.jpg http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa443/RicksterBoy/Ri...

additional info: The parents to the Blue Lacewing male are both Blue Lacewing. The parents to the Silver Female are: father GreyGreen, mother Silver. The silver is one of four in the clutch - blue, greygreen, yellow and herself (silver). Does this affect the outcome? Is this the calculator you use: ...

Hi, I'm extremely new to this, so I hope others respond, but I gave my boy some sliced apple, cut broccoli flowerets and whole grapes. He ate it great. I think they like to pick it up (not too heavy). I hope this helps ~ Jackie
