Thanks again, I misread the manual.
More questions (for anyone here) though ...
What's the best procedure for trying to weed out the Flash, the Illume, & the Porcelains, etc.?
I have other male "Naturals" in the box that I could breed the mother with, but all of them have the potential for hidden traits of course.
How do I know if I should try again with this same pair, or try a different male? Is it all just guesswork and trial and error, or is there something I should be looking for in the parents?
I only have the one female at the moment, although the one just born in the box might be a female I suppose. Is there any way to tell if a kitten in a box is male or female? And even if it is, does the fact that it's visible trait is Flash mean that it's more likely to have Flashy offspring anyway?
It seems to me I should just stick to what's visible and keep putting different Naturals together, hoping that eventually the hidden non-natural furs dissapear?
