I don't have any high white rats. So no..lol.

But these rat morphs are considered high whites.

You see it more with BEW (black-eyed white), husky, blazed, split-capped, there are more.(excluding albino's generally).

It is an animal with lots of white, could be a blaze face(lightning bolt on its face) Husky with white coming up the sides. thats what its considered. Hope it helps!

Oh boy am I glad I got most of the rex out of my stock! lol
They are cute though but I couldn't get hairless moms to produce and raise up more than 3 babies so I gave up. Everyonce in a while I have a hairless pop up and I call em ball sacks lol
maybe not appropriate, not sure.

If you are keeping her though, try and keep her cage extra clean, maybe the "blood"(can't remember the name) will clear up.

I'll post some pics in a moment

This is my lap rat Dewey. He's not in my breeding program, and is just a love bug :)

He is an example of a high white rat with a blaze and a very small head spot of a few hairs. He has irregular sides and a long band of color down his back. High white rats can be all white up to and including the face, leaving a face mask like you stated.

so even red eyes get MC?

Megacolon can be in any animal, but the high risk animals are the ones that show a lot of white.

If you mean a red eyed animal as in an albino, the possiblity is there, but it is not directly linked to albinism by any means. An albino just cannot show what color or pattern it is because it cannot produce any melanin. An albino can be genetically a high white animal in pattern, or it can be a completely black animal. There is no way of knowing what the genotype is of an albino until you breed it to a non albino animal. (unless you have the parents with you lol) Albinism cancels what ever color that animal may have been expressing.

Don't let anyone tell you that an albino animal is a high white animal. They cannot possibly know until you show them their offspring. Any albino animal crossed with a non-het for albino carrying rat will give you either agouti or black. Depending on what genes both parents are carrying.

An all white rat with black eyes is NOT an albino.

Is that a better answer? :)

Edit: The rats eyes in the photo's are black, the flash makes them red.

Im just so damn confused!

How do white rats get on the market then. If all high whites get MC, how is there even any to make more? you get what im sayin? My girlfriend has my camera charger or i would have shown you pics by now. But she has a blonde mask with a stripe that goes all down her back, and little blonde spots on her butt. I just dont want these pups that were born on Sat 9 to be suffering.
