Hey everyone,

I have been trying to figure out what color this rat, Bella, is for quite some time now. Sorry I cannot get better pics, but I am never home before dark now. Also...our lighting and camera suck.

She looks more beige in the pictures than she does in person, and now that she has grown up a bit, she clearly has the berkshire white markings on her belly. In addition, when we were first trying to describe the color to Connie after her molt, we said she looked like pale steel. I have since found a color called silver that calls for "off white color with an ice blue hue". Problem with this color is that it called for a PED, which as far as we can tell, isn't present in the colony. She had pink/ruby eyes when she was younger, and still has the red tint in her eyes in the light, but I would not be able to tell the difference between the two unless I got to look at some side by side.

Mom is an English Blue Rex, het for RED. Dad is a standard coat black berkshire, possible het english blue, and het RED.

So, without further ado...a couple of Bella, then mom and dad.
