Topaz. Look how pretty that little rattie is! Makes me want one :)

This is hard! I like topaz, himi, siamese, agouti, and REW the best! I also like hairless.

Here are some baby photos of my rat Tia Maria. Sorry they are a bit blurred our digital camera was running low on battery. Would she make you love black hoodies???:D :)

[finn's mom]

But, out of the photos you posted, I like the Berkshire.

[carole]

They are all so cute, but I kinda like the Berkshire myself, are there any siamese rats ? I know you can get siamese mice and they are ever so cute, have not seen them down under though only in books.

[Miss Z]

I think that himalayan rats are sometimes called siamese rats:)

[wolfsoul]

Yes, you can get siamese rats. :) One of my rats, Tobias, is a seal-point siamese.


I think that himalayan rats are sometimes called siamese rats:)
Himalayans and siamese are different -- himis are born completely white and develop their points later, and their bodies remain a clean white -- siamese rats are born with their points and their bodies may turn beige. :)

Himalayans... also a favorite of mine for rabbits and guinea pigs :D .

[Flatcoatluver]

I had no idea there was that many rat colors!!! :eek: I said topaz cuz I really like that color on animals!

[Miss Z]

Oh there are more colours than those!!! There's about 30-ish diffent rat colours:) not as many as mice though, they have about 300!

[crazy_caique]

albino :) and black capped :)

[Vette]

Had issues picking between Topaz and Agouti hooded. :o

[CathyBogart]

I like Black eyed whites the best! :)

[Suki Wingy]

more about himis- they have albinism (REW) but also color. color is restricted to the points (Nose, ears, tail, feet) and everywhere else has no pigment at all, like the area where a horse has been freezebranded. They have red eyes because the blood vessels show right through, I thought that was the COOLEST thing ever, that is why I wanted a himi rabbit (and I got him!!) The fur is bright white. My avatar is wrong, I think they just made it cream so you could see it on a white background. It sometimes really bothers me that it is that wrong color (I LOVE the crystal clean sparkly white of Oslo) but the animation is so cute that I end up just keeping it on there
