    Oh my bad, I missed the het part. He sort of looks like a dumbo even though he's a het! I would love to have a dumbo, but all our fancy rat breeders in the area quit breeding Good luck with him! Be sure to post the pictures of his pretty babies! Do you know if variegated is recessive? I'm guessing that it is since I've never had a variegated before

    Variegated in my experience seems to be co-dominant. All of my variegated animals produce some variegated animals no matter who I pair them with.

    As for that male, I'm not breeding him. I am trying to find a home for him actually. So, he won't be making any babies for me. His sister will, LOL, but not him. I really can't use a rex male in my breeding program. His genes spread too fast and I just can't use that many rex animals. So, I only breed rex females.

    i dont think thats possible, i get those all the time. i dont have 1 variegated breeder. so its either random in relation to the pattern or recessive and i have lots of carriers lol
