This May Sound Stupid. But I Was Wondering, What Color Babys You Get From Diffreent Colord Parents.
Like If You Breed A Albino With A Gray What Color Would The Babies Be, And All Other Colors That The Parents May Be What Color Would The Babies Be? :) Thanks

Hedgehog colours are often difficult to predict. It depends on the genes of both parents, plus their ancestors. I would expect that there may be one albino to three coloured, similar to that of the grey, but you really can never know for sure. If the grey has albino genes in his DNA, then there may be more.

Do a google search to find out more. I know that there is a good hedgehog genetics site, but I can't remember the URL. Anyone else?

Here's a URL to a really detailed colour and genetics site:

The colour-table there uses descriptive names only however, for the actual colour names, see:
