Fancy rats as feeders?

[Annageckos]

Idk... The lady told me the parents were albino show rats (but the pictures showed them with tan hoods) and the grandparents were blues. Idk how rat genetics work but that's what she told me.

Where did you get all those genetics???? I'm so jealous! I want to have colonies like that soon but I gotta start somewhere... Which is why I'm choosing American blue dumbos. I'll probably toy around with beige also and try to make some cool lookin rats.

Can you show me a pic of your silvery blue blaze berkshire? It sounds really neat.

Thanks in advance,

Next time I clean the tubs I will try to get a photo of him. Like I said, all my rats came from pet stores. You can find some pretty cool things sometimes. I have also done a bit of line breeding when a trait I liked popped up. I use to have a line of Himalayans that came from a black pair of pet store rats. As for the breeder with the 'albinos' I would take what she says with a grain of salt. Tan hooded rats with red eyes are not albino, it sounds like beige (or maybe champagne) to me. Albino gene is the lack of all pigment. I know a lot of people call anything with red eyes albino, but a breeder should know better.
