    Identification help

    So the story behind this fella. I picked up feeders about 8 months ago. One snake didn't eat so the rat went into the rat rack. The next day I had an unexpected litter of 12. This guy is the sole survivor. The mother was all white with red eyes and died unexpectedly about the time this guy was weaned. So because of how he came to be I have no idea the pairing or genetics involved. My curiosity has me wondering what you guys think he is.

    Looks like Agouti Berkshire. He has white feet and I see a bit of white poking out on his tummy

    I love agoutis, and they're super easy to breed for so I can have my fill. They remind me of chocolate bars before their ticking becomes noticeable

    They make some awesome combos too like fawn, cinnamon, Blue Agouti...
    I'd actually like to get some PED in my colony so I can get some cinnamons

    Yes, exactly
    I generally don't like pink eyes rats, but I think cinnamons are beautiful!

    Your rat is a nice looking Agouti.

    PED + Agouti = Silver Fawn.

    Agouti + Mink = Cinnamon.
