Ooops sorry I missed this thread. I love Hooded rats, one of my very favorite markings and for some reason I've never had one with a genetic problem or poor temperment. Maybe I'm just lucky. Most, though not all, of my Hoodeds have come down from two foundation rats, Casanova and HoneyChild, and there were fanastic rats so that's part of it I guess.

A litter of 4 day old pinks with some nice Hoodeds mixed in it....


Father and son Black Hoodeds...Casanova and SuperNova....


Casanova, my first male Black Hooded...funny thing with his pattern...see the funny sort of hook coming out just before his shoulder color...that hook mark is on almost every single one of his hooded offstring....just of odd really....


HoneyChild, a beige Hooded....her back markings aren't as uniform as Casanova's but mated with him, she consistently produced some really nice clean Hooded rats.....


LisaMarie, my Fawn Hooded (showing off her new fashion statement bedding as a hat LOL)....


Stubby, who lost her tail as a pink though it did save her from becoming a feeder rat (this is an old picture of her as a weanling). She's lived a good life as a breeder in the colony and is now retired to granny rat status. She's a total sweetheart and completely in love with my husband. As soon as Mike enters the rat room she's bouncing around, begging to be picked up by Mike and bruxes loudly at him (the loudest I've ever heard a rat brux).....


I've got more Hoodeds, these are just a few of them that I had pictures handy of.
