I've only noticed red eye rats sway back and forth, black eye rats can see quite well.

You are correct that a blind rat can get along just fine, I've seen several that were amazingly well adjusted as pets and it didn't slow them down very much either.

"There are two classified forms of glaucoma, primary and secondary. In the primary form, pressure in the eye increases without previous disease, and may be a result of genetic predisposition. It tends to affect both eyes but may not occur at the same time".

I myself wouldn't breed a rat that has glaucoma if I was breeding to prove out a trait(such as it being a dwarf) but if making feeders is all that's required let em breed :P

I would personally refrain from breeding these. I love rats and the first shots kind of creep me out. Jerry, your rat is still cute, barely :p
