Dumbo Odd Eye Merle Rat

[Michelle.C]

If you have any Pearl, pair him with that. If not, any other mink color. Since merle only expresses on mink colors (some better than others, like Pearl Merle is good), breeding him to a Mink color will give you the best odds.

I do plenty of Pearl x Pearl pairings, but do remember, it's lethal in utero. 1 in 4 babies will be absorbed. But, Pearl works if you don't mind losing some of the Pearl babies. But any Mink based works. I'd try to stay away from Mink dilutes though (Platinum, Russian Dove, etc.), even Cinnamon Merles aren't as good. So, stay away from Agouti as well.

If you don't have any Mink based, out cross to a black. Then breed the offspring back to each other/this guy.
