Re: New albino!

"problems" is really a matter of degree
essentially, by inbreeding, one narrows the amount of genetic material available and thus there is a greater chance of getting stuck with some weakened trait
highly inbred animals tend to be less robust than animals with more divers genetic backgrounds
these are just tendencies

there was something else I wanted to say . . .
under-slept
