I think one theory for Be was that is prevented the eyes from being diluted. Beautiful rats, by the way!Originally Posted by sorraia
And finally... here's a "black-eyed Siamese" girl I produced. What's funny about her, her eyes were neither truly black, nor the normal pink of a typical Siamese. They were a dark ruby, like a mink! And in fact, she was a mink-point Siamese. I suspect the black-eyed gene doesn't actually make their eyes black, but turns them the original color instead. I test mated her to a normal pink-eyed seal-point Siamese to see if I could produce any black-eyed Siamese. Sadly she died due to birth-related complications (one of the very few times
I had that happen in the 10 years I bred rats).
