Worse comes to worse I'll have to wait until I get back out to Oregon. LOL
The Harley gene has not been around for a long time. Just a couple of years, and it based out of WA from my friend Debbies Rattery, Odd Fellows Rattery. It's a gene related to Velveteen, so most of the time the longhaired rats are also curly. Debbie however, has had some straight haired long rats. So there really isn't any other long haired rats available except rats directly related to this line.
