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.
Ya the color threw me off when she said albino. But I thought I just didnt know what I was talkin about since I'm new to all this. And by pet stores do you mean Petco and Petsmart? Or local small chain pet sores?

Thanks again,
