    Rab the title says for someone to stop you, but how can we when you already got the blue hooded girl? Heehee. Lucky though! Im not so sure about whats a blue hood and what exactly a blue rat is.. is that one that very dark grey? And hooded, a white rat with blue hood? What all the color strains out there? Or name a few not too obvious like; white, black, brown. :)

    Here's a thread that explains colors in rats. Post #14 shows a blue caped (I call hooded). The baby one on his hand is very much what mine looks like:

    I'm going to another PetSmart after work that says they have a blue hooded as well, so I guess I can't be stopped! LOL

    Aww that a hooded blue, I had a female one of them when I took home 5 baby rats 7days of age and handraised them all, sadly all but one died. And now that one is a Mom of 13! :)

    And then there were two! Got the second American Blue Hooded - her name is Holly (thanks Joanna!).


    She has a solid stripe down her back, where as Noel has two dots on her back. Noel is the sweetie pie, Holly is the squirm meister!

    And thanks Joanna for walking me through WalMart to find the plastic shelving unit I needed!

    Glad you found that shelving unit Robin. It will be a great space saver with your growing rat colony. Can't wait to see the pics of the two American Blue Hooded females you gotten lately. :)
