Rat babies are adorable. :oops:

Glad your breeding project is going well :gj:

Is it a blue double rex?

My blues that carry Siamese show dark noses, maybe that's what your seeing?

She has a bluish grey color to her.. Im not 100% sure what im seeing yet.. I guess in time when she gets older and molts few times, ill see if that nose color is just normal or siamese type.

Where do you guys get these cool rats? We have albinos and black and white ones here. I've never seen anything else.

Now I'm really contemplating building my rack. I was just down there this past weekend picking up my Fire Mojave. Alright, I might start putting my rack together. Thanks!

Being blueish grey means it's probably a blue double rex that carries Siamese and pink eye and who knows what else, lol.
If it was a Siamese and a Blue I believe it would be a blue point Siamese which isn't blue except on the points.

Looks like a fun project. Gorgeous Rat.

Im going to hold on to her and breed her back to her dad, who is also a double rex carrying all her genes..

I guess time to wait another 2 months time before i see what comes out.


Double rex x double rex should produce all double rexs right..

Someday I'll keep accurate records, lol, I've done that breeding more than once.
If I recall correctly that pairing should produce 75% double rex's and the rest will be either standard coats or loose rex's

this is why I can never feed live I would have a house full of cute little rats :)

Well she is a Siamese. hair is 80% gone and her tail base and nose is a dark color still..

She's not a Siamese. Double Rexes lose their hair in odd places and keep them in others (usually face and rear keep some hair). She's black eyed which means she's not a Siamese. There are Black Eyed Siamese, but she's not one. They are still pretty uncommon.

Very cute though!

She has NO hair on her face or rear just dark colored skin where Siamese would have dark colored fur and res of her skin is pink colored.


She may not be or she may be, the color and characteristics are there considering mother is a Siamese and father carries the gene.

My vote is blue double rex ;)

Her skin was just like the black eye siamese. And over the night her skin is now a grey/blue. The nose still has dark color as so does her tail base. Im sure if i breed her back to her father a double rex siamese should come out eventually.

Shes shown no signs of growing her hair back just yet. Hope she dont and stays more hairless/thin fuz than her father.
