Question about eye scleras

[kaiteedyd]

Do all hedgehogs, with the exception of albino's have blue scleras? My hedgehog who is a chocolate has blue scleras. If you guys could reply with the color of your hedgehog and the color of their sclera I would really appreciate it. I'm very curious about this.

(The sclera on human's is the white part of your eye. In other animals it it different colors. Horse's except appaloosas are dark, dogs are white.)

Marco's are blue.

Yep, Quillson's are blue. :) Sometimes they are really hard to see though.

This is a very good question that you have asked, and I am finding the answers very interesting. Thank you for this thread.

You're welcome :) I was curious wether all hedgehogs scleras, with the obvious exception of albinos, were the same color, or if different colored hedgehogs had different colored sclera. I am predicting all hedgehogs have blue sclera except maybe pintos and ruby-eyed cinnacots/apricots.

I'll bet your right. BTW, Marco is a little miffed at me right now, I had to shine the light kinda in his eyes to see real good and I don't think he saw the humor in it! lol
When I was done, he looked at me as if to say "thanks dad, now I'm blind, hope your happy"
