REWs with black noses and tails

averydeadbird · Jan 11, 2019

I thought that REWs were incapable of producing black or red pigmented hairs, but my two REWs are developing black on the tops of their tails and around their noses. Is this typical? Does it give any extra information about their underlying genetics?

Looks like you have himalayans (pointed white), not REWs.

Oh!! Are their ears and feet going to darken, too?

Himis. Not all get good and complete feet and ear markings but sometimes it takes awhile to fully show up.

Thanks for the help!
