So it's been a while since I've been on the forums but this just has to be posted.
I have a small breeding colony of rats. nothing special...a few agouti hooded and some black white hooded.
Well I've been breeding the same colony for about the past 6 months now and all of the sudden out of nowhere, this little girl was born...
So my questions is how does this happen? Even if double rex is recessive I would think some double rex babies would have been thrown besides this one by now?
A lesson on double rexes would be great. I did a google search but it didn't really help me. Plus I needed an excuse to post pictures of "Smeagol" anyways. And she has since grown up into a wonderful pet and has been pardoned from ever becoming a snakey snack.
then I found out I waited a little too long to separate her from the rest of the breeders...whoops
And she gave birth today to 10 healthy babies. I will be keeping one of the female offspring as a companion for Smeagol since she will just be a pet from now on. those rats got to have friends. And Smeagol gets cold she needs someone to cuddle with. It will be interesting to know what her babies will look like, if special at all. I wouldn't know which male bred her, possible it was even her own father. Any input on the matter would be great and just had to share these pics and show you guys my new special little girl.
