Blue Rats!

I love all domesticated rat colors and believe me there are dozens of colors and varities to choose from. But my favorite color would have to be the blue rat. It's a shade that can look like a slate gray to a powder blue or even a deep russian blue. It's a beautiful color. I've been lucky enough to own 6 blue rats.

Awwwww they're all so beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteWe don't have many blue rats in Australia due to problems with the gene regarding blood clotting normally which is a shame coz I love the colour, there are few people trying to breed it out over east though :D
Awww I didn't know that, I looked up an article: http://ratbehavior.org/AustralianBlue.htm
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing the lines I had in American didn't have that. Ginger had her toes bit when she was younger & bled a lot but it clotted and Basil was neutered with no complications. Hopefully someday you will have some blue rats over there!
hope so!! btw did I ever tell you how much I want to steal Basil, he's so damn adorable!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful rats! I've had the pleasure of having one blue rats, Bijoux.
ReplyDeleteI think you have Georgia. :) Basil is my buddy. His brother & him looked very similar, I just wish I had gotten a little longer to know Sage.
ReplyDeleteLinda, aren't they gorgeous? Glad you've gotten to own one too, I was always so envious & wanted one and now a breeder in the area must breed a lot of them because two of the Petco's near me always seem to have blue rats.
