There is no error in the programming.
1:4 odds would defeat one of the purposes of Confetti: to have a low-enough birth rate that the population does not explode and drive prices down.
Perfect balance would be a bit more than 1 Confetti offspring per parent (or, a bit more than 2 in the 121 days, since you need a pair). But, remember: it's random. So even if the odds were perfectly set, there would be some people getting none, or only one, and some people getting more than two. The maths get complex. As I said above, you really only have a choice of being too low (leading to extiction) or too high (leading to explosive growth and crashing prices). And trying to tweak things is probably much worse than leaving them as they are.
The Tigers and the Cheetahs have already driven the confetti prices down near rock bottom in my opinion. At this point to breed them for profit is a bad idea. Just do it for fun or to try and be first at 9T. It is a lot easier to trait up a Cheetah or tiger and you pretty much have any color you want now to choose from. Also its impossible to get say blueberry eye on the blueberry fetti or apple on an apple which is a real shame and a missed opportunity.But matchy matchy or doubles are easy on those other furs and much less frustrating.
I am so frustrated with Confettis I wish I was seeing Red!
