Re: Share Your Fancy Rats
I'm going to sprinkle some Agouti in to my blue rats in the next group that I'm holding back.
I've gotten 3 female Agouti's in the last 6 months, the first two came to me and soon showed signs of Myco :mad:
This one so far has been growing nicely and should be ready to pair in a month or so.
Female Agouti Berkshire Standard Coat
I think she's a beauty, hopefully she carries blue and makes me some blue Agouti's, if not I'll hold a few female Agouti's back since they'll be het blues(Dad will be a blue self)

My favorite agouti buck! He fails in conformation and his rex coat is not right in the least but he by far is the best rat temperament wise. :D I am found of agoutis becuase of him...after I had to retire him he went to a home with a 9 year old boy and is never in a cage. Spoiled as always!

Pocket Agouti :rofl:
Cute ratties, agouti and fawn rats are two of my fav colors.
Re: Share Your Fancy Rats
He tried to fit into pockets half that size when he was around 8 months old. Very amusing to watch since it guaranteed some funny positions with half his body in the air somewhere...

If they came from standard coats there is no way they are rex, sounds like you got it nailed.
Also hairless that have hair tend to have that kinky hair, not curly or crinkled like rex or velveteen.
Good stuff, I have a neighbor working on a hairless group that throws little curlies too.

Hairless is a recessive traits making your two het hairless, a 25% chance of making them each breeding, just like snakes :)
