Merles are a sight. They change every shed too. Like a mystery game.

I'm sorry to hear you lost such a pretty Mink. :C One of the reasons I stopped breeding last year was becuase I lost two females in a very strange way. One began to bleed in the second week of pregnancy and then gave birth two weeks later of dead rotting pups. The smell was terrible and she became emaciated. The second rat bled three weeks after her litter was born and began to loose weight. I put an end to both rats before it became worse. To this day I have no idea what had happened. The litters were sired from the same father but he also father about 17 healthy ones before this.

I hear dwarfs are a handful to take care of becuase of their hyperactivity? I wouldn't mind dabbling in dwarfs though!

Very nice blues and Himi. It's funny how these genes just show up whenever they feel like it. I try to know my lines well but I love to have those mystery rats too. It makes everything a little bit more fun.
