About
Caramel is a recessive mutation.
Issues
Photophobia
While the word photophobia literally translates to a "fear of light”. Its not actually that you are scared of light, but instead, are incredibly sensitive to it. Animals with albinism experience photophobia due to the lack of pigment in the iris, which does not allow the eyes to filter out light.
History
A few breeders in Indonesia, Europe and the US are working with this mutation. [1]
