I've been breeding mice for about 5 or 6 months and I came across an oddity yesterday. I found a mouse (about three weeks old) that is white with brown spots that has red eyes. I thought only albino (white) mice had red eyes. After further checking, I found a brown mouse with red eyes! The brown on both of these mice is light peanut butter brown in color. Has anyone seen this before?
im sure i had a hamster which was brown/grey and white with red eyes....we have hundreds of mice born every week at college and weve had alo t of oddballs turning up! i think ive seen a few grey ones with red eyes such sweet lil babies!

Not really an oddball. It happens a lot. I have orange red eyed mice, spotted red eye mice, white red eye mice, etc. I don't know much about mouse genetics but it happens.
Wow, I thought only white mice had red eyes. Learn something new everyday. Anyway, I'll try to get them to breed and see what else turns up. Thanks for the info.
I breed my own rats. I have had alot of color variations. I had rats that had one eye red and the other a normal color. I had the fur all different colors. I guess its the dna that makes these things occur.
