How exactly would you tell the difference I have what I believe to be a mink, bareback but he also kinda looks like a Blue? Any help is appreciated :)

What kind of blue? American or Russian?
Can you post a picture?
I have a litter of Russian Blues and Minks right now I think(I'm away for the weekend, so I can't be sure). If I remember, I'll get a new picture of them to compare.
To be honest I've been looking everywhere for pics comparing the difference and I'm about 95% sure he's a mink however I will posts photos tomorrow when I have the light on my side xD

Mink vs blue?
Omg those are some of the cutest little faces I've ever seen!! Sorry I'm not much help. I just had to comment on how cute they were!
I wish I knew their colors/genetics better. I get 2 shades of blue/grey, not positive what they are. I've also been getting 3 different shades of beige. One if which I would almost call red. Sorry I'm no help.

Hey back with some photos, they're kinda blurry cause I have a ipad and he just wouldn't stop moving, but his colour shows pretty true.

Heres his his colour showing that he's a greyish brown, or rather a dull grey with a brown hue? Idk how to explain it but there's the photo. But he doesn't have banded hairs.
Thanks satomi! Please do be upset if I contact you through pm for future rat refrance apperently you are THE person to talk to about rats/their colours :)

Sure. Feel free. Sorraia and Snakesrkewl are good at rat IDs too.
