Opppsss...my mistake I was commenting on your last comment that you saw more "greyish" colors...didn't catch that you were referring to a different rat, and figured the colors in the photo were just off. I guess I was actually commenting on what Squeakers was .

As for the markings, I too have been breeding and judging rats for a very long time, so I still have to disagree with Becky on the markings. Yes, you can name all the traits that a rat has but those don't correspond to how the rat would be judged should you choose to (or wanted to register them...and yes there is a rat registry). The categories are much narrower.

But either way both are very cute no matter what you call them.

This is Daisy Mae's mother, Squeekers, as a young rat. She's still one of my cutest female breeders.
