    Awesome Rattie Pictures!

    There have been a lot of posts recently and it is fun and refreshing to see so many 'feeder breeders' taking an interest in genetics, best practices, and best care for their ratties. I would like to start this thread as a place to share pictures of babies we produce or own that we think are awesome. Here we go!

    One of my merle moms:


    Her babies are always wildly varied - still trying to sort out the genetics on this but I think I've got a lot of genes at play here:

    When my husband gets home, I'll have to get my camera out of his car and have a ratty photo shoot!
    Why keep a snake? Why keep any animal? Because you enjoy the animal, find something beautiful and fascinating about it, and it fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.

    I want a merle rattie!! I've never seen one before.

    I have a few pictures of some of my ratties, but I really need to take some more. I'm lazy and they are difficult.

    Good looking rats - I love the merle gene and it seems to be surprisingly rare. Merle dwarves are possible from litters I have now - too early to tell who is a dwarf yet. I'm going to take some pictures later of a merle rex baby that is definitely a holdback that was born a few weeks ago.

    Wow! So cute! I love looking at pictures of rats! >w<

    My phone exploded and DSLRs suck at taking every day pics. I'm getting an iPhone this month and will most definitely be bombarding this thread with pictures!
