Saharan Uro question

I was wondering if anybody had any experience with breeding a red saharan to a yellow saharan. Would you get a mix of average looking animals even if the parents were nice? Im just curious if anyone has crossed the two and what their results were. Thanks in advance.

I attempted this a couple years ago, but was unsuccessful (the female would never lay in the nestbox).

I was told by Doug Dix of DeerFernFarms and Lindsey Pike of Urotopia that you would get a mixture of some red and some yellow.

Thanks Michael, thats what I expected the outcome would be. I just wasn't sure if the mixing would make average looking babies instead of bright colored babies. It probably would depend heavily on how the parents looked.

That saves me some space. I didn't want to breed too many Saharans because of all the imports, but I still wanted both colors. Just pair them together!

Yeah, Lindsey said the key is giving them a HUGE nest box, despite their relatively small size. Something with a footprint of 18x18" approximately. I was offering them a men's shoebox tub and that was apparently too small.
