That is true, unfortunately :(
Thankfully my only blaze is just a runt and megecolon free ^^
I'm actually a bit suspicious on if he's REALLY a runt or one of those quirky miniature rats. I'm crossing my fingers for runt/smaller pup. Both mom and dad were kinda small...perhaps he just has some catching up to do.

How old is he? Megacolon doesn't show up until weaning. I just lost a rat to megacolon. I aquired a siamese female that was already gravid. She had two high whites, one a dalmation, the other a banded blue blazed. The blazed did not get megacolon (probably carries it though) and the dalmation has it now, she is about 4 1/2 weeks. I will be taking pics and then feeding her off. :( She was a sweet pretty girl and i am so sad about this horrible disease...
