Where are all of the Siamese Rats?
I've been searching for Siamese or Himi rats for about 6 months now; with NONE to be found Does anyone have any pics to give me my Siamese fix? If anyone in NC has any Siamese or Himis they are willing to part with, I'd be THRILLED!!! I'm in Raleigh, NC. Photos posted here might curb my cravings!!
Thanks!!!

Re: Where are all of the Siamese Rats?
This is the only Siamese in our collection and she's barely one LOL. She has only the smudge of color on her nose but since I've read that the color comes out more if the rats are kept in a cooler environment that may explain it (our rat room is toasty warm).
I have no idea how to produce a Siamese and since Smudge is currently just had her first litter with us I haven't been able to tell if she's produced any Siamese offspring yet.

I don't have any current pics of my Himalayan (I believe its a Himalayan and not a Siamese) but in her first litter I didn't get any like her. She is ready to give birth any day now so we'll see what happens this time with a different male as the father.

Re: Where are all of the Siamese Rats?
I found a siamese at petsmart.. they don't normally have those! I got him and now I've got lots and lots of siamese. I'd give you one if you were close.
The thing about siamese is their pigment is temperature sensitive. The pigment only shows up on the coldest parts of the body (nose, feet, and butt) ..and the cooler the room they are kept in, the darker the color.

True siamese have a lot more brown than Himi's (Himalayans) do. Siamese bred to a regular albino will produces all Himi's. The gene is simple rescessive.
mlededee has the only true Siamese posted so far. I need some recent pics of mine.
