Yea the one you said is adorable is the one i COULDN'T gas. My gf said if i gassed her she wants cleaning rats no more. So i had to keep her.

Which works out because i need her as a breeder anyways :rofl:

I'm pretty sure that the black and white rat in the "3 females" and "female in pic before" pictures is a Roan/Husky
