Those look like lovely rats Robin. The blues I think are likely Russian blue as they look like quick dark steel grey in color...one is a Self, the other with the white would be a Berkshire. From what I remember of rat genetics try to avoid breeding those two blue females with a male that has a blaze face or is a Husky in markings as they can both carry a recessive genes for something (Becky help me out here the NyQuil won't let me remember what you told me about that...ACK).
Don't worry too much about feeding off "pretty" feeders. It's bound to bother you the first few times, that's just natural and will likely pass in time whether the rats are cute or not. I still don't care for feeding off fuzzies as they are the most visually appealing to me but it's just a fact of life when you breed rodents for feeders.
Remember our talk about what to look for when you go out male rat shopping LOL.
Thanks Jo - there's only one blue, not two - just lots of pictures!

Ah okay re-read that...you picked the self blue not the berkie one...gotcha! Note to myself to take the next dose of cold meds AFTER I try to catch up on BPNet threads LOL.
