Share Your Fancy Rats

How many of us breed our rats not only for feeder but also for fun with the genetics? I'm sure most do, because they breed so often it is easier and faster than the BPs.

We have everything from standard coat and ear black selfs all the way to blue dumbo rex. We have made some lilacs, blue agoutis and minks. We currently have a pair of dwarf dumbo siamese and we are working on making some blue point siamese.

I will add pictures when I get home tonight. But feel free to share your fancy feeders, breeders, and pets.

dont have enough time to do that but i have done a few of them.

I have school and then after i spend 3 hours on the mice and rats and an hour or soo checking the snakes.

Soon to be able to do this as 2 hours of the 3 are fixing the walls and getting the heat in with insulation.

Would like to see a few pics

I love rat genetics and I really want to breed them and see what kind of interesting colors and markings I can produce. These are the only rats I have right now.

1.0 Amber
0.2 Black Berkshire
0.1 Agouti Berkshire
0.1 Blue Hooded Dumbo
1.0 Beige
0.1 Albino
0.1 Unknown (I'm not sure of her color, but I hope to get better pictures to help figure it out)

Here is Yoshi, my blue hooded dumbo.

No pics now but all my feeder are pretty much fancy rats. I have mostly dumbos now but still some standards are thrown. My favorites are my dumbo hairless (those dont get fed). Also I have these almost sky blues that are real nice and I love my agouties.. chocolates, champagnes, all black, blue, silvers, dk blue, siamese(dumbos) and pretty much any patter and hooded of all above colors

Here goes my little tail-less. Just popped up out of nowhere in a clutch. I'm gonna see if I can produce more...
