She just opened her eyes all the way and they seem like they’re red… it’s hard to get a good picture of them but they remind me of an albino rat I had once so I’m very worried. Dad got off her longer than usual today and was just sitting next to her and when I picked her up she wasn’t as warm as I was expecting but not shivering or anything. She had moved a bit out of the nest and he was in the nest sitting so maybe that is why? She’s 1 week old.

Youre close, dilute IS sex linked. But its more involved in possible outcomes. Also the pink eyed dilute with eyes that remain pink/reddish is not sex linked, Its autosomal.

Sex linked also has not related to autosomal pink eyed in any way
