I'm considering him an apricot because he has and orange tone to him.
This one you can really see the difference between him and the fawn hooded. I did have a few doves pop up that I killed off. They are so light you can hardly see the pattern. If I get a dove girl, I'll keep her.

Re: Share Your Fancy Rats
The one on the right looks like a beige, the boy does kind of look like an apricot, very nice.

Pretty much the only rattery around closed down and other people won't sell to me because I want to breed.
I agree but I want to write this anyway...lol.
More often than not when you have a creme or beige colored rat is indeed a fawn. Fawn is a fairly common ruby eyed diluted gene and tends to be popular.

Re: Share Your Fancy Rats
Fawn is the meeting of recessive ruby eye and agouti creating a pretty orange rattie.
There is so many recessive traits flying through rats it's crazy.
I've had a few fawns in my breeding stock, none at the moment, but that's going to change, I have someone holding two female fawn girls for me, yay.
I also hope to re-introduce agouti to blue again, I loved my blue agouti rats I had before, blue with orange hairs, a pretty combo

Ok, so he's definitely a beige. The female 'fawn' I have has ruby eyes. That will make it much easier! I can't believe all the recessive traits that pop up! I started with a fawn hooded, a black hooded, a black capped, an agouti hooded, and an agouti self. The agouti self is the one who keeps throwing all the weird colors/patterns! I'm so happy I picked her up! I would love to have a blue agouti! I had a blue hooded, but never bred her because she was a pet and was 3 by the time I started breeding.
