When I look at pictures from brown velvet I find so many different shades. I wanted to know what are your criteria to form a pair that will end up end producing the darkest brown velvet.
Do you find that the black velvet that darkens early in life will produce darker brown velvet? I've seen so really dark pairs (dark beige and dark BV) will sometimes produce very pale brown velvet. So their adult phenotype would not be a good indicator then. What is? Is it just a game of trying the male on different females and to pick the good one? Is there an indicator that could help me choose a pair and have good results?
ALso can they really darken that much growing up? Can a pale kit end up really dark much like tans who change shade a lot?
