Rat Question... Update: now with photos

**king2005** · 07-21-2006, 08:08 PM

I have 3 freaky baby rat colours. They are a dark Berkshier with a blaze! But the blaze doesn't touch their nose... Does this colouring have a proper name? They look odd

LOL Jess, can you post a pic? We have probably had them also but being visual it would be easier to name if I can see them. How are they doing btw? did the moms share parenting? I know you thought you may lose a couple, cant wait to see how big they got.

The babies are all doing well

I have 1 psycho mother so I have to fight with her to get her out of the cage so I can feed, clean & check the babies (NOT fun hehe).. I'll take pics in a few mins.. but they babies are still really small.

I have about 12 of the little buggers running about in a 20G tank hehe their eyes opened the other day.. I put them ina bucket (needed to clean) & one on top was sucking on his toes!!!! OMG it was the cuttest thing EVER! & I got a video!!!! can't show the video "yet" but I'll have a linkto it soon.*runs off to take pics of odd colourings*

EDIT: I just noticed that the bottom 1/2 of their heads are white.. the smaller one is going to have 1 white cheak...

You can take all 13+ of my Blazes babies!!! OMG they don't SHUT UP!! *RIPS OUT HAIR* hehe

I have SOOO many different kinds of babies you'll have lots to choose from.. BUT you'll have to wait till the next breeding. The father of these ones was imbred & I don't sell known imbred rats as the health issues can be plentyful...

**DrKym** · 07-25-2006, 10:02 AM

Jess I can't see any pics?

I will keep checking though! It almost sounds as if you have a mismarked Hampshire......not certain til I see them though.

I think you need to convince my mom though. I'm bringing her to Super Pet todaya nd I'm gonna take a look at one of the ratties and get her to see it and HOPEFULLY she will be a little more convinced.Then I will get a baby from you

bring her to my place & show her a baby rat.. they are so darn cute & they still suck on their toes! a larger rat might not be as cute to your mom as a baby would be.. remember you can win over mothers with babies!! heheh

we went to super pet and I looked in one of their tanks and there was like 30 babies !!!! And in another there was like 8! And she look at the tag and it said Dumbo rats and I said see thats the kind I want (and she didnt say oh too bad that your not getting one) and she said why whats the deifference and I told her and shes like well there kinda cute. And then said how before when we had rats she just didnt like their poo.But eh she can suck it up its not like shes dealing with it.
