Fredrick FAO Helen .x The debate is on .!!!

Fredrick is getting darker .. lots of people state side are saying he is a black .. as you no he has a extended mask that reaches to his quill line in a badger stripe ..

the hog in the bottom picture is one of Shellys and is a black .x

Absolutely stunning Lou! What's the debate then? I thought we thought he was a black? R is Algerian Black different from just black?
The bottom one looks just like a racoon
xoxox

He is gorgeous Lou - contact the International Hedgehog Association as they run the International Hedgehog Registry and they will confirm the colour of Frederick - we have to remember that some unusual colours and markings are coming through that haven't appeared in the UK before and their colours should be right on their certs.

oh... i thought the debate was whether helen should give fredrick to me or not...

i know i dont know a lot about colours but to me fredrick looks exactly the same, maybe even a bit more of a mask (hard to tell cos he's balled) xxx

You are funny Josie - you make me laugh!!

If you are not careful i shall put itching powder in your liners!

His mask is more extended and yes im going to have to Helen .. no Mel .. as their are no Algerian blacks in the Uk his colour would be up for debate so we are going to get it confirmed a lot of my overseas contacts via crazy page have said black ..

They look very similiar to me, even the badger lines look the same, awww it's very exciting xx

thats part of the extended mask Janey .x

Thanks Lou, I get it now lol xx

they are very similar.....x

He still has the odd light quill but he hasn'e even quilled yet .. will get some more of him later .x
