So… I just found this baby… Dad is officially “I have no idea”(someone thought he could be a cappuccino, he was gifted to me from someone that doesn’t do cresties… I thought he was a low expression lavender harley, and someone else offered he could be a partial pin lavender with portholes)and mom is a red and cream harlequin(but she has a tail “Y” too… So maybe thats where baby got it?)
Almost very baby I have had of his looks like this one… Some have been much darker… I don’t have pix because my dang cats kept jumping on the baby enclosure, popping the screen and poof, no babies
The nursery enclosure is now secure and the naughty cats can’t use it as a perch…
I do have more eggs Im waiting on to hatch…
I dont have the money to get a female Cappuccino to prove him out… I’ve seen cappuccinos very similar to him and even ones that don’t…
What do we think this child is?
Is this a possible cappuccino baby?
I’m still learning and had no idea this was a thing until recently… I’m kind of bummed because I was so disappointed in getting all these “plain” and “ugly” babies… Then to have someone point out that the dad could be a cappuccino and tell me about them makes me feel really dumb…
Mum is a partial pin red harlequin possibly has Dal spots
Dad looks to be a low expression pin dash, dalmation. He doesn’t have the dark to white tail it the v so not likely a cappuccino. I can’t comment on lavender unless you have a fired up pic of him also. He doesn’t have markings on limbs so not harlequin, however this might show up in fired up pic of him, but I think it might be part of the Snowflake trait.
Baby - although has a slight v, it doesn’t have the dark to white section on tail. I’d say he/she is a pin dash brindle with portholes & Dal spots.
I may be slightly wrong, see what ghoulish Cresties has to say. But would be better with fired up pics to confirm.
Tbh, I think I’m order to confirm his a cappuccino, you’d need to pair him to another cappuccino. Or he produces a distinctive cap. But none of these pics show cappuccino (in my opinion)
The red thing is substrate
I did mist baby and it fired up dark but im not too sure…
I’ve seen Caps without the tail “V” and some others with a pretry dark tail, but I’m still learning…
There are some on MM now that look identical/very similar(to me at least) to this wee baby, but I completely agree that he should be paired with a female Cap to be sure… I just can’t afford one
I would be gappy to send him to someone to prove out and put my curiosity to rest but have no idea whom…
Fired up baby(After i misted and they didn’t appreciate it )
Yeah, I know some don’t have the v or the dark part of the tail, but the tail is significantly whiter.
Again until you can prove out, it would not be confirmed but I do not see anything to make either of them a cappuccino. Also there are VERY few cap breeders out there so you are not likely to find someone who’s willing to give a female up for the season.
I know there is a pic on here showing a cap compared to a non cap, I’ll see if I can find it.
