So my older female Paloma after having her kits seems to be changing color slightly. She's a pink and white and has always had one grey freckle on her back That we call her beauty mark. Since she had her kits the base of her tale has turned grey has a slight grey patch around her eye and has developed little freckles in her ear. Is she " transforming into a Mosaic or is she just a dirty pink and white lol

Also one of the kits likes to grab the screen on the front of the cage with her fronts and/or her mouth and shake the cage. Its funny, she looks like ahead headbanging. Is this normal? Maybe I should put on some Metallica for her?
 
Chins don't "transform" into a different color. Whites are known to lighten or darken over time, but it doesn't make them a different mutation.

Pink whites can either lighten or darken over time. They can develop beige shading or lose it as they grow older. There can be pure white pink whites, or pink whites with beige splotches. The same with mosaics..then can develop grey marks/shading as well as lose them. Most often whites are born dark and then lighten up considerably with age.
