Genetics of one black eye one ruby eye?
Just curious...
I bred two of these together and all the babies had red eyes. My wife thinks they are freaky, but I like them and was trying to prove they were recessive or something. (no luck)

Re: Genetics of one black eye one ruby eye?
Do you mean one rat has a ruby eye and a black eye? It's just a pattern difference(yes, pattern) and is called odd-eye.
Ruby eyes on a black rat is called double odd-eye. I have a beige wedge-blazed capped boy who has a pink eye and a brown eye. He is aptly named Funny Face. He's a doll.
Again, I have pictures! Lemme get around to it, LoL, and I'll get them on here.

Re: Genetics of one black eye one ruby eye?
I believe it can be, but sometimes it just pops up randomly like "OOh, I wanna be FESTIVE today! How bout some pink herruh and some brown there. That's nice! Or wait! How about a pink eye AND a ruby eye, won't that look awesome?"
Kind of like that, but in rat-gene language.
The mother of my odd-eyed boy was also an odd-eye. I have one of Funny Face's sisters and she has a dark brown eye and a dark ruby eye(barely noticeable). So I'd assume it's genetic, maybe like Pastels or Spiders in Ball Pythons. The odd-eye gene just seems to be a dilute to the fur color and the eyes, but since it can happen in black rats too, I really don't know. It would be something to research, I'm sure.
