In Wisconsin the "main" squirrel species is a very light gray, even lighter than a chinchilla color- I am sure that's why blue chins are called squirrel. We...

No, I do not. I live in Southern NH. We had a few white squirrels hanging around our home for a number of years, but it has been quite awhile now since I...

There is someone......can't remember who....that raises all bb red mini rex because it does make the smut less noticable...they are nice, bright reds- good...

I'm sorry but the way I understand it Agouti is the PATTERN (ie the rings) NOT the color. Am I wrong? I always thought the names were of the COLORS of agouti...
