Jerry,

The lighting in my rat room is not the best LOL. I just have a couple of those tall floor lamps and that's it.

I assure you that they are Russian blues.

I don't have time to post any pictures right now, but I'm sure that I have some more that will show it better.

All good, the lighting makes them look agouti is all :P

Thanks Tom

that really looks like crappy bedding.:D:D:D

Nice colonies ya got there! I'm curious to see how your tail-less adventure pans out....I have a curly tail girl that i'm growing up not to prove out.....Love my ratties just as much as my snakies :D LOL

I use shredded aspen in my colonies.....if I have it on hand, I'll use Tek-Fresh in the grow up bins....last longer & cuts down on the odor.....I have a shed dubbed the rodent house so I can get away with changing bins only once a week (even running a 1.5 ratio)

I have a shed I call the shed. I run mine 1.8 and change them once every 10-14 days.
