Have you tried tacking down Del on Facebook?

I picked it up from his home in person. He did not recall who he sent the head to.

So a number of years ago....and I know this is a long shot. But someone took a Tornado head for a member named Delc17. That person was going to repink or rehair him. However the head was never returned. I am sure it was just a forgotten thing...or because Delc17 left the pony boards, or something perfectly innocent...but now someone out there has a tornado head...and I just purchased the body! I am hoping someone out there will go Hey! I have that head! and be able to send it to me. I would be happy to pay for it. Delc17 does not recall who it was...and it was between 2006 and 2011.
Help a poor headless boy out! I know my odds are low...but I am hoping someone did not just throw out such a htf head.

I did not have internet or cable for a whole 24 hours. Oh the horror! So anyway...I decided I really should try doing more art of the less popular ponies. So here is Fancy Pants Baby Glider!

More suggestions for slightly off the wall pony art is welcome!

I love your style, whippetluv! A bit of a strange question; would you be open to recoloring the pony in one of your existing signatures for, say, $4? If not, that's fine. Good luck with all your sales!

No sorry...since I don't save the lineart seperately, it would be just as much work to redraw the pose. Sorry.
I DO however happily take trades of G1 ponies. I am rebuilding my collection and even need common stuff!

1106 Tara's customs!

"lying harassing theif" was the feedback you just left me. ....Umm no lies. YOU are the one who started this thread and sent me all those messages. And you got a full refund the day you asked for it....so how am I the thief?

Also you have to remove my last name from the actual thread too not just the title

This may sound like an odd question, but how does the splashed gene work? I've read it only works on c-dilutes, is that so?

Thanks..and yes. Splash can only be seen on a c-dilute mouse. Most of mine are siamese based. Ch but Ce or Cch also works. It is a dominate gene so only one parent needs to be splashed to produce splashed babies...but both must have a C dilute (either a carrier or visual). So if I have a splash and I breed to a stone or beige mouse...I can get splash. Now a mouse CAN be splash...but it may not be visible. Such as a PEW mouse who looks just like a pink eyed white...might be a hidden splash, only a test breeding can prove it. But splash was lab created...so it will never just pop into a population unless it was bred in. All of the current splash mice out there came from labratory animals. It is just now starting to appear in some US pet stores in parts of the country.

As for transport - you have them flown by plane like you would a dog or cat. They get put into special rodent shipping containers and they came by British Airways. It was about 2500 dollars to ship 44 mice. Each one had to have a certification from a vet and we had to pay for couriers, vet fees, shipping company fees, import company fees,  box to ship them in, and the plane tickets. They arrived with little wee waterbottles but carrots or cucumber would have also worked. They were in our hands in the same amount of time any flight from England to Baltimore Maryland takes. (minus the fight over paperwork at the airport) In the US it is not legal to "mail" mammels, so they have to be flown the same way. It costs about 120 dollars to ship mice across America but again it happens in a single day which is good for the mice. I have also had this done once when I wanted mice from Oregon state.

Those are adorable though! What color is the black with the brown/reddish stomach called? It looks like Halloween.

That is called a black tan. They always look like little dobermans to me! It's my favorite variety of mice. I had them shipped to me from England.

I own Mushroom Rodentry, which I have been operating for 5 years now. Gosh I would love to have mice like yours! Our mice are no where near the size of your show mice, nor are that nicely conformed, but breeders such as myself are striving hard to reach such a goal. I so envy you having satins and splashed mice! There are many varieties we do not have in Australia as it is illegal to import them into the country (and no, you can't just pay the quarantine fee, it doesn't work like that here), the only people permitted to import mice are laboratories and research institutions and only if they have a permit, on top of that the mice they import must be from certified lab stock and the amount of paperwork and backhistory required on the animals for disease control is immense. Laboratories are also not permitted to release stock to the public at all, they can be fined enormous amounts and even be shut down as it goes against the code of ethics. Damn it! I would just love to see a satin in person one day, they look so amazing!

BUT you do have a form of manx that we don't have here! That is a bright side! I am very aware sadly of the rules you have there...its a darn shame really. I get why they are so protective of their native species..but there should be SOME way to get a special permit. I feel the same way about the ban on african rodents here in the states. I had African Dormice in college and loved them...but they are now banned from import and have died off in the States.
If you ever get a chnace to Vacation here in the states, I am sure we would all love to meet you and let you see our mice!
