Strange because albino means it's a red eyed white rat, hooded albino? :confused:

Albino blue?

There's no such thing as an 'albino blue'.

Changing colours on rats is common though, it's called moulting, or 'roaning out'.

Here is a sister of that male I was talking about. Their mom was a hooded blue and dad was all blue. As you can see in the pic she is hooded and she has red eyes she been like this since she was born. I Have a litter that may be born in a week and I'll show you that there would be albino blues both parents are blue so all the babies will be blue then some will get the albino thing and for me none of the babies are all white they are hooded the only all white ones I had was my first litter.In in my first litter ever I had 2 all white albino blues 6 hooded albino blues and 3 normal blues. I don't know alot about rat genetics so forgive if I'm wrong.

The picture shows what looks like a bareback blue rat, better pic would help.
Have a picture of the albino blue?

Theory since I've never made one or seen one:

It might be possible to have blue rats that carry the albino gene and then they breed and make all blues and some albino blues(never heard of such).
This "albino blue" would look like any other albino rat(white coat red eyes) but would be a blue rat also.
Bred to a blue rat that doesn't carry the albino gene you would then make all blues with an albino rat.
But how would you know it's a blue under that albino without making it yourself?

The pic above is my albino blue yeah I believe that both parents had the albino gene. The two pics below are two albino blues first pic is the same female from pic above and secound pic is it's brother my male albino blue

The Weird thing is that my albino blue male got that albino blue girl from pic and I though that all babies would be albino blues cause of the parents but when she had her babies none of them were albino they were just regular hooded blues.

Hmmm, pictures are still washed out but I'll give this a go.

The first picture looks like a red eyed blue bareback rat.

That last picture looks like a pink eyed blue point Siamese rat, nothing albino about him.
He has dark points(nose and butt) and a blueish tint to the fur coat?
I produce lots of Siamese and in all 3 eye colors.

It's weird these two are brother and sister and all if it's other sibling all look different. So can you tell me why when I paired these two up all I got were blues and none were the kinds you just said and I know the two in the pics are blues cause the patents of these two were blue.

Your playing with recessive red eye traits, there is pink eye, red eye and ruby eye.
I do not know the genetics of your rats and can only guess your playing with different colored red eye traits.
I have never heard of a albino coming from a blue to blue breeding and I've never made an albino with my Siamese rats and they carry all three red eye colors.
My blues also carry ruby eye and they only make more ruby eyed blues, no albinos.



sorry to hijack the thread :oops:

The red eye dilution, makes the blue look very light. It's got nothing to do with albino, which would turn your rat 100% white.
