Ooops sorry I missed this thread. I love Hooded rats, one of my very favorite markings and for some reason I've never had one with a genetic problem or poor temperment. Maybe I'm just lucky. Most, though not all, of my Hoodeds have come down from two foundation rats, Casanova and HoneyChild, and there were fanastic rats so that's part of it I guess.

A litter of 4 day old pinks with some nice Hoodeds mixed in it....


Father and son Black Hoodeds...Casanova and SuperNova....


Casanova, my first male Black Hooded...funny thing with his pattern...see the funny sort of hook coming out just before his shoulder color...that hook mark is on almost every single one of his hooded offstring....just of odd really....


HoneyChild, a beige Hooded....her back markings aren't as uniform as Casanova's but mated with him, she consistently produced some really nice clean Hooded rats.....


LisaMarie, my Fawn Hooded (showing off her new fashion statement bedding as a hat LOL)....


Stubby, who lost her tail as a pink though it did save her from becoming a feeder rat (this is an old picture of her as a weanling). She's lived a good life as a breeder in the colony and is now retired to granny rat status. She's a total sweetheart and completely in love with my husband. As soon as Mike enters the rat room she's bouncing around, begging to be picked up by Mike and bruxes loudly at him (the loudest I've ever heard a rat brux).....


I've got more Hoodeds, these are just a few of them that I had pictures handy of.

Do I know you?

[stangs13]

Im so jelous! I want me some hoodies!! Rexes, taillesses..them all!

[Beardedragon]

Very nice, i have a hooded breeding with two albinos, although im not very sure about rat genetics so im not sure what i'll get.

Does not haveing a tail hurt them any way with balance or something?

[frankykeno]

Well I can't say it hurt Stubby at all or at least I've never noticed it did. She's not genetically tailless though, it was nipped off accidentally when she was a day old. They do use their tails for balance while climbing and for heat regulation. I know Stubby doesn't do as well as some of the other rats if the rat room gets overly warm but since they've been in the new room which is much better regulated I haven't noticed her having any issues that way. The funny thing is she holds her stub off to one side, always has and rarely moves it.
