Re: Blue Eyed White Dumbo
Larry,
Hopefully they turn out to be true BEL. I had one born a couple years ago and after it was weaned it developed a patch of colored hair on one side of it's head. The color was a light blue/silverish color. As a pup it couldn't be seen, but when the rat was a little older the color showed.
Keep us informed. That would be interesting if they turned out to be pure white with blue eyes even when they were older! :)

Re: Blue Eyed White Dumbo
I wonder if you actually have a Black Eyed White rat. Pretty rare from what I understand and sought after in the fancy/show/pet trade. White rats actually come in three forms....true Albinos, Pink Eyed White (PEW) and Black Eyed White (BEW). Personally I'd love a BEW that was also a Rex. They are really cute, almost like little lambs.
