I am new to registering here but have been lurking & reading posts on BP forum for awhile. The climate here in the rat area is kinder than many of the pet-rat online communities. Much appreciated.
Death in the family has made things stark and somewhat bleak. I am looking at hard decisions. I have enjoyed my rodent friends for many years but I am looking at keeping just a few, just enough to keep my lines going. It has been nice to take a break and visit here and see lighthearted posts. Some posts have made me reminisce and I wanted to share a few photos of my rats.
Siamese
Offspring from the Siamese above
Another Siamese
A cream-white color with black eyes popped out of the Siamese litters.
Started getting more black eyed rats with white coats. BEWs? Hmm.
The color variation is interesting with some having cream and some having white coats in this line.
Also shaded noses on some of them.
Here are Merle babies:
And here are three littermates, the two smaller ones are Dwarf.
Last year or so I began showing the rats to other breeders to get opinions on colors. No definitive answers, but official names for the color/variety are problems that don't keep me up at night. I have just enjoyed them for themselves. Thanks for looking; it is often fun to share.
