Needless to say she was rehomed rather quickly xD



I've never heard of a Siamese Dalmatian before O-O Pictures? :D

I have to admit, the first time I got some little english blues, I couldn't believe my eyes. They were so different from my russian blues, just so light and almost purple as babies. :)

Here is a picture of my female when just shy of weaning (the hooded), and her sister that I sold to a member down state.

Oh wow Connie they're beautiful! I might have to see if I can find one of those to replace my blue female that just died. Any idea where I might be able to look to find one of them or were they just a chance pick up?



I feel like I've seen that picture somewhere before............hmmmmmm lol

They were produced by me! I was working with a newer line of rats that I hadn't line bred before, and they were a complete surprise! I had only had Russian Blues up to that point. :D

I've got two, big albino boys!! I loove rats. I had a black and white hooded (I think) rat before. He was the most amazing rat ever, and he lived for a really freaking long time. Long enough for the vet to be surprised when I had to put him down :( Would you mind if we post pics too?

Littleindiangirl, those blue rats are very nice. I just get mine from Petco, so they're not too fancy...but at least I give them the chance to be well taken care of, and not some kids throw away pets.

i jest started breeding feeders so i dont have very meany difrent types of rats but off the top of my head i think i have...

Colors
Blue (some very light blue and some dark)
tan (same as blues light and dark ones)
brown
black

Markings
English Berkshire
Hooded
Bareback
Capped (there jest babys know but one looks like it has the blazed marking)
Siamese

I agree one of the reasons i got into doing it, plus i think its cheaper when you start to get more then a few snakes

Well, I don't have the room to properly breed rats, not to mention that I don't really have anywhere to send/give the too large adults. I do breed mice, tho, and have some really pretty ones from silver albinos to a black agouti.

I have kept rats as pets before and think they're great. My favorite was my Golden Agouti girl. There is one rat in the house now, a sweet Siamese male, that I'm trying to find a good home for. :)
