Nice! Looks like a dove color to me.
Sad to say the second litter of 7 didn't make it. :O One of them went psycho and decided to kill them all except for the older 5 (I fed off the deformed runt). I'm speechless. I suspect it was the PEW that has started running in circles lately, killing off all but her own. ARGH. I'm letting Ez adopt them.

if you're like me, and get them from a local store to breed your own, maybe the store is only selling you the same sex mice. Which I just found out the other day after a couple of months waiting. My rats are right now, 3 adult males, and a female. I have bred the female to one male, she made 10 pups first litter, giving me 6 females. Of those 6, I will give to #2 male to bred. Those that give me females, I'll give to #3. No inbreeding. The one main female, just gave me a litter of 12, and now I'll cut her off breeding. I'll just do two litters per female. But two litters over a 20 total is amazing. I'll have to pick up a co2 to get the sized rats I need to feed. The start up cost was big, luckily a friend gave me two cages, and the first breeding pair. I've spent a $100 on the other cages, and one male rat, not including food. Local pet stores charge $9-22 for live rats. So, thankfully I have about 10-14 new females :-D Now, for those darn mice lol. Gotta find a male.
