Hedgehog pairing calculator
Pick a sire and a dam to see the odds for each baby in the litter.
Sire (father)
Dam (mother)
Odds for each baby
- Albino babies25%
- Normal-looking (not albino)75%
- Of the normal-looking babies, share that carry albino66.7%
- Pinto babies (estimate)50%
Odds are per baby, not a promise for the litter — a litter of four with 25% albino odds can have none or several.
What this does and doesn't cover
Albino is a simple recessive trait: a baby is albino only when it gets a copy from both parents.
Pinto is treated as dominant, which matches most breeder experience but hasn't been formally proven, so pinto odds are an estimate. Pinto parents are assumed to carry one copy.
Other colour names such as cinnamon, chocolate or snowflake don't have an agreed genetic pattern, so this calculator doesn't guess at them. Never pair hedgehogs with Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome in their lines — check the WHS guide.
