What color are these baby rats?

[mues155]

Here are my 22 baby rats from my double rex sisters.
They are all the same color and I would guess agouti? But I am not sure. Either way the self ones are very cool looking.





bunch of heavy babies

I see Irish/English, Split Capped/Stripe, Badger (That appears to be banded), Bareback Hooded, Hooded, Variegated and Berkshire. All are Agouti (Wild Type) colored. Which are one of my favorite rats!

I don't see any self rats, but I might be missing them. Self rats should have one solid, uniform color with no white hairs (including on the feet).

I think Michelle went a little over board naming markings. lol.

There are poor hooded, and berkshire markings, as well as solid agouti it looks like.
All are agouti coloured.

Since they're agouti, there are no selfs. Agouti is not a self colour.

Awesome! thank you! thats what i would have guessed was agouti. They are SO cool, ive never had agouti, let alone the whole litter with two different females (sisters but still)

I love the solid ones! I think Ill be keeping one or two!


Ill just have to see if the high whites show any megacolon...this is from the same male that fathered a rat with megacolon in a recent post of mine. The females were already pregant and I didnt know the risks of the high white breeding until just recently. So some of those poor cute blazes might be in trouble.

Since they're agouti, there are no selfs. Agouti is not a self colour.

They actually follow under "Other" because they are ticked, but imo, if they are still a uniform color with no white, they are usually called self. Although I do realize they are not considered "self" by the AFRMA, RMCA, etc. But, thanks for the correction. I was trying not to confuse things.

I named what I saw. Poor hooded (speckling on the side, head spot) is a Varigated. I don't really see many Berkshires. Most likely due to the small amount of white tipping on their tails, there are probably more Irish/English markings than Berks.

Not to mention, I don't see any selfs...I mean solids. They all have white feet.
