Fancy Rat Colours?

Rats: Colours: "The 'original' colour of the rat in the wild is dark rich brown, commonly known as Agouti but as rats have been bred over the years a number of colour mutations have occurred.

By combining the different colour mutations it is possible to breed a further variety of colours.

Agouti: The original wild colour. The rat has a rich brown coat ticked through with black hairs, black eyes and grey ears.

Cinnamon: The coat is mid brown. The eyes are black and the ears are grey.

Black: The coat is jet black over the back, sides and belly. The eyes are black and the ears are grey.

Albino: The coat is pure white to the roots, the eyes are red and the ears are flesh coloured.

Himalayan: The coat is pure white to the roots with coloured nose, ears, feet and tail.

Siamese: The coat is light beige becoming darker around the head and rear.

Blue: The coat is blue grey over the back, sides and belly. The eyes are black and the ears are grey.

Silver Fawn: The coat is ginger, sprinkled through with white hairs. The eyes are red and the ears flesh coloured.
