Just caught up on the last few posts here. Thanks for the input! Dwarvism is a recessive trait which inhibits growth hormone. The result of this is a tiny rat that is immune to tumors.
I have had a few BEW dumbos pop out recently. Cute little buggers but don't fit in with what I'm working on. My most recent holdback is a blue dumbo rex female with one perfectly round eye patch over one eye. She runs up to the wall to say hi and hops right in my hand when I reach in while the rest dart into their little hide. Looking forward to breeding her into the dwarves.
As for the pictures:
Non-rex sibling to the holdback but has a similar eye patch
Hard to see but this one is black eyed
Triple het dumbo dwarf siamese merle and blue pearl merle
Last but not least one of my black eyed siamese dumbo dwarf males - this guy is a full grown adult
