    Mink vs blue?
    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

    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.

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