    Black X Black with red eye recessive makes Beige.
    There is a host of other recessives they could carry too like Siamese but that one looks like a pink eye Beige rex to me.

    Which gives them even more of a chance to make beige since they both obviously carry red eye recessive or they couldn't make a red eyed rat.

    When the red eye recessive genes match up it changes them from black to beige color.

    That works for me, have someone looking for Rex, and what better to have red eye beige dumbo rex for a pet.

    Re: What type of Rex Rat is this

    Red eyed rats don't sell well as pets or at least I haven't had much luck selling them in my area so I normally stick to Ruby eyed and black eyes with this boy as an exception.

    I'm going to be breeding him to agouti next to make some agouti's that carry pink eye and then breed back to make some fawn rats(orange).

    Pink eyed Siamese Rex Coat Male with a blue hooded female and a black eyed Siamese female.

    Very Nice,

    Never hurts to try and see if anyone wants them. Most rats sold is this area are hooded or albino, nothing special.

    I've fed way more red eyed rats than dark eyes, lol, but your correct, you might find a market for them all you can do is try and see.
    If not you'll do like me and feed off more red eyes than dark eyes

    Good luck, I have no problems selling rats as pets, there is a lack of pet quality rats out there and people really prefer buying from small breeders over pet stores.
