I don't know what the mink colors are, are they the husky looking ones? Because I thought they were the blazed rats. And I actually think my girls are friendlier. The rat in the very first picture I named "Momma" and I held back all of her female babies, which is most of the others, is the sweetest rat ever. All her babies are that way too. I can sort through the babies right after they are born and she won't bite, she will just sniff and walk away, and she won't kill them all later either.
