Re: Rats - Colors and Coat Markings
Just to keep adding to our little database of colors....here's the American Blue Self male we bought recently (poor guy still doesn't have a name LOL). He really is this light blue!

*please note - added due to editing broken link - this male was later put down due to infertility and aggressive temperment issues - I'd caution anyone about buying these very light blue rats out of pet stores - it seems a lot of pet store blues (both the lighter Americans and the darker Russians) have been seen to have both health and genetic issues*

Since this is such an excellent and informative thread, we decided to "sticky" it. We'll leave it open so others can add more pictures and information to it, but please respect the "sticky" and keep things on topic! ;) Thanks!!

These are probably blazes, but cool shaped ones.... it is possible they are masks, but ive never seen blazes or masks in these patterns

Can plain blazed just be a lightning bolt down the center as well?
Re: Rats - Colors and Coat Markings
With this being a sticky rat color and coat marking thread, I figure this is the most appropriate spot for a great link that has answered many of my color genetics questions, mainly those what do I get if I cross X and X...
AFRMA.org is one of my favorite rat/mouse sites!

Hope this comes in handy!

Re: Rats - Colors and Coat Markings
Yep I just noticed that too Ashely, a lot of broken links most likely. Once Daytona is over I'll work with one of the Admins to sort out this sticky better so the pics actually show up properly. Sorry about that.
