    There's dumbos and normals mixed together.

    I'm waiting for the posts identifying what they all are. The group photos under the dwarf are all from two moms - one dumbo and one normal. There's one baby that looks white but there is a very faint off-white hooded pattern.

    One litter had black, tan, brown and blue hooded and solid. I wonder how many generations it would take to isolate one type & color.

    That depends on what type and what color you want to achieve.
    Hooded to hooded makes all hooded.
    Blue to blue makes all blue, Siamese to Siamese makes all Siamese, Black Self to Black Self makes all Black Selfs etc.

    I've always preferred to make multi-colored litters with my record being 6 different colors in one litter

    You've got some nice looking rats there. I love the blues I think they are, the greyish looking ones.
