I know these pictures and videos suck. I will take more later. Just trying to get a rough idea on the genetics of my feeder/breeder/pets.

This is my first pet rat Tony. The breeder told me she was a male, hence her name, but that was false lol. I initially thought she was a blue self, but other breeders have told me mink self.

This is the male, Steve, that she produced her first litter with. An agouti hooded?


Some videos of her and her offspring. As far as I can remember (all the babies were fed off), she produced blacks, fawns, and agoutis. Various markings, selfs, hoodeds, berkshires, blazes. No albinos, all black eyed. But if those are fawns then they had to have been dark ruby eyed and I didn't notice.

My conclusions about Tony's genes:
aa B- C- D- G- mm pepe P- Rr
I haven't gotten too into the genetics on markings yet, so I have no clue about that.

I guess Steve's genetics would have been:
Aa B- CC D- G- MM pepe P- Rr

My other adult female is Skittles. She has points, so she is either a seal point siamese or a himalayan. Since she grew into her points as she got older, as opposed to the color fading down, I believe that makes her a himalayan. I don't have any adult shots of her right now, I will take some later. I also never took pictures of her litter with Steve before feeding them off . I don't think that there were any albinos. Only blacks and agoutis.

I figure Skittles is:
aa B- c(h)c D- G- M- pepe pp RR

I currently have a temporary male in with Tony and Skittles that I believe is a blue berkshire.
aa B- C- D- gg M- pepe P- R-

I'm raising up two young males as future breeders, and keeping an eye out for some cool females when I go to get feeders this weekend.

One male is a blue hooded dumbo:
aa B- C- D- gg M- pepe P- R-

The other I have no idea what to call lol. He looks like an opossum, so his name is The Opossum King (after the Toadies song). He appears to be grey with some brown at the edges. I have no clue on his genetics.




I've been researching rat genetics. But any help/correction is appreciated .
