One black and one red eye
Has anyone ever seen one like this before? I have had 3 dumbos that looked exactly like this little female. The other two were males. Here she is.

That's kind of cool looking!
It's a genetic trait that happens sometimes from what I read. I know it's quite common in certain types of cats, dogs, and horses. Why not rats?

Re: One black and one red eye
It's generally referred to as Odd Eyed. Some say it can be a marker for a higher risk of Megacolon, but if you haven't had issues thus far, I wouldn't worry about it.
Cute rats, I actually like the odd eyed trait.

x2 to the bolded. I had a male Rex dumbo who was an odd-eye. He had a few babies in each litter he fathered with several different females that ended up with megacolon. It wasn't the girls, as they never threw any babies with any issues when I used different males, soooooooo...something to keep in mind but if you don't have any issues, I wouldn't worry about it. Mine were several generations in that it developed as an issue and he was older so who knows. Cute ratties, regardless.

If you care and want to read up on it at all, here's a few articles I'd saved when I had lost some out of my litters to issues with megacolon. Pretty dull reading if you ask me but good to know if you raise your own feeders...just something to be aware of more than anything and not something to stress over.

Thanks. No issues with megacolon yet in my breeding stock. I will have to keep an eye out for it though.
Thanks. I'll read it over. Always good to learn about things like this.

I've created two so far. Never had megacolon before. My whites are recessive.

If it's recessive it's no big deal.
Odd-eye is caused by the high white gene, again if it's recessive trait you're fine, if you get mega colon then you know to cull the line because it's going to cause more mega colon.
