Cute babies!

I don't think thsoe 3 are technically hooded rats. The way it was explained to me by my mentor, hooded rats have to have the hood and a solid stripe from the hood to the base of the tail without break in the color down its back. Anything that has breaks or lacks the stripe is technically variegated (or possibly DWS I think).

AFRMA describes them that way too:

To be honest though, I prefer the variegated look over hooded, so what you've got is my preference in pattern between the 2.
And the terminology is probably not super important unless you show rats, but I think it's interesting to learn it and wanted to share.
