Gosh i don't post here nearly enough.
Chellerd those stamps are so good ouo you did a fantastic job on them!

So as im going through my few dik diks that i own (all two of them lol), i noticed that they both have some pretty creative quirks, as in they are both very creative little guys.
Which makes me wonder if anyone else has given their dik diks any quirks of any kind. So do your silky dik diks have any odd quirks?


Gale, likes to craft his own tails out of various pretty items he can find, not limited too: both living and plastic flowers, leaves, shiny objects, jewelry, and feathers.
While Allegro, is a painter. very fond of getting into paints and creating masterpieces. Its very rare and unusual to see him without colour staining his coat. Most common places of staining is his nose, legs and tail.

AND WE HAVE A NEW GENE!
I'm super, super excited for this one. I can't wait to see the response. c:

. . . . Tortoise
Tortoise(xt+ xt+) is a sex-linked trait which is only expressed when the individual has two t+ x chromosomes. This means that (normally) only females can be white. Males can carry the t+ trait on their x chromosome, but cannot express it because they lack a second x. Tortoise is dominant over everything. It has two forms of expression: patchy and broken. Tortoise only expresses when the silky has black and red pigment, so it is only noticeable on bays and bay dilutions/variations.
The tortoise gene prevents the agouti gene from functioning normally, creating both red and black patches or spots. It also makes patches of fur lack pigment, resulting in a "calico cat" or "tri-color bunny" appearance.
