Its funny cuz I did so much research on rats before I got these guys but I'm doing 10X more now!
Love y'all
I don't think it's genetic to a pattern or color.... When i said hoodie, i meant a hooded sweat shirt. It's easy to keep a rat in the pocket or hood.

Most rats are awesome if handled from a young age. I go out of my way to play and hold the more skiddish ones. Hasn't failed me yet.
