Different ASF?

[Denial]

I have a colony of african soft furred rats but for some reason everytime I see people post pics of theres they all look different from mine. I see alot of them that are multy colored with spots and such but mine are solid gray. All the adults are gray and all the offspring are solid gray in color to. Ive been trying to find some of the multy colored ones to add to my stock but I cant seem to find anyone around with them for sale. Are the mine just not as popular or something?

Can you post pics ??

All of the ones I have ever seen are spotted/multi colored. Of course, I haven't seen tons of them, but in this part of the world it seems that the majority of them are the ones you don't have. I'd love to see pics of yours too!

Funny I havent seen a solid gray yet lol. I have a solid cinamon/brown adult female, some of her offsrping are solid brown with a head patch, they look like little gremlins, cute looking, for now anyways...

I dont have a camera anymore but I can try to get some pics with the cell phone tonight when I clean cages. Yea everytime I see a post with someone showing theres they are always multicolored and the ones I bought are all just gray and every offspring theve had has always been gray

This is my original group that I bought. The brown one in the far right seems to be a wild/normal brown (female) type. The one in the far left is the male. Not sure what his genes are and has red eyes. Some of their offsprings look like the mom but with a white patch in their head. So Im guessing he is co-dominant.

The on in the middle is the 2nd female, I searched around the web and she seems to be a "piebald" simple recesive, But a few of her offsprings look just like her, so either the male is het for piebald, or the "piebald" is co-dominant. Im guessing is the first one.

Someone that knows more will pitch in eventualy

Every single one of the ASF's we breed are the piebald type. I think there may have been 1 or 2 out of the many hundred babies that were all brown. None have been all white and none have had red eyes.

We started out with 4 piebald types.

Very interesting.

I have never seen a gray asf. I have the common white/brown ones and some pied with pink eyes.

My personal favorite. Took me FOREVER to make these. Always wanted and all gray / black ASF (All = head and body, ears, tail)

Thats what mine look like but I never get any of the pied looking ones.
