ID My Rats

Can any one tell me the colors/coats on my new breeder rats? I assume the white female is albino of course. Can hooded rats come from these two solid colored bodies rats? Could any other variations of colors/coats come from these two?

The colors are recessive, so don't be surprised when that light colored male produces black and white babies. If you bred one of those female babies back to the male you'll get the beige color in 50% and black and white in 50%. The patterns are really variable but I think you'll get a mix of patterns with a solid to a patternless. It looks like the female is just a pink eyed white and the male is either a self or a berkshire beige. You should separate them until the female is 200+ grams or she might get pregnant early and you will probably not be happy with the results. She could die or she could eat the whole litter to regain the nutrition put into them.

Looks like beige and pink-eyed white. The PEW might be Himalayan, you'll have to wait to see if she develops points later on. If not, probably albino.

What these rats will produce depends entirely on what is in their background and what they are bred to. The beige would produce more beige if bred to another beige, or fawn and beige if bred to a fawn. It may produce a combination of black, agouti, beige, and fawn if bred to an agouti that carries the ruby-eye dilute gene (the gene that makes a black rat beige or an agouti rat fawn), or just black and beige if bred to a black rat that carried RED. It may only produce black and/or agouti if bred to anything that does NOT carry RED. It may be able to produce other colors if it carries other dilutes and is bred to a rat that carries the same.

With the albino, there's no telling what it can produce. If bred to siamese, it will produced HImalayan. If bred to Himalyan it will produce more Himi and albino. If bred to albino it will only produce albino. If bred to anything else, it is anyone's guess what will pop out, depending on what genes are behind it and the mate.

Markings will be variable. You can't see what markings the albino has underneath its "mask", so no way to predict what you'll get there. Does the beige have white on its belly? If so it's Berkshire, and could produce a variety of markings, including self (no markings at all), berkshire (belly markings and feet), and hooded (colored hood on the head and shoulders ,with a colored spine stripe "saddle").
