Re: INBREEDING

Well, I guess it depends on the family line. I did do one inbreeding with one set of siblings and ended up with a line of gerbils that was prone to seizures. Even when outcrossed. It really put a kink into my breeding program. I basically had to start all over with new breeding stock.   It has been said on the list, that one should not allow inbreeding for more than three generations. Perhaps my experience is an exception. I just know I won't be doing that again ;)   Cinthia A.
