    High White Russian Blue babies

    Lately I've had to cut down on the number of rats in my breeding project. One of the two pairs I've decided to keep are two high white Russian Blues who just recently gave me a litter.

    So cute!

    What makes them Russian vs American blue? I have looked to no avail.

    The blues are definitely nice. Mine have a very sweet temperament, as do my dumbos.

    American blues are a much lighter blue and are not compatible with Russian blues.

    American blue



    Russian Blue


    And since some of my rats have both russian blue and american blue I can get both in the same litter

    I love the blues. One of my blue dumbos just dropped her first litters this morning. The pic is of her and the sire of her litter. Plus one of the two crawlers she "borrowed" from her sister.



    It's OK, though. Sis stole four of her pinks.

    Re: High White Russian Blue babies

    Adorable rats! I love the high white blues.

    While Russian Blues aren't compatible with American Blues, you can cross the lines and end up with something called Russian Silvers. They carry both the American Blue and Russian Blue genetics. They usually end up lighter than even American Blues, but can end up looking a lot like Russian Blues.
