    I love all the fall colors

    Hey guy I just wanted to share a couple of babies I have produced this month.

    If anyone know what the red headed hoodie is called please let me know. They are from a mom that I have bred before but never had these come out.

    Info on Cinnamons, which are a bit hard to tell sometimes from a really nicely colored Agouti (at least for me). I know I've had rats here that I would have swore were Blue (grey) and ended up a grey Agouti, and some that I thought were Cinnamons that ended up the more brown sort of Agouti - sometimes you just have to wait for the adult coat to come in fully.

    Cinnamons are so pretty! It's a dilution of the Agouti by the mink gene. I love both of those colors. Hopefully you can breed out some Mink babies too!

    Mink is going to be that warm brown. It wont have any of the dark ticking in the coat, making it lighter.

    Re: I love all the fall colors

    I just thought of something... if one of the parents was an agouti, and the other was black, then you probably dont have the mink gene. It's very possible that they were both het for mink, but the chances are that the pup in question is just an agouti. Whatever, cute!!!
