![]() ![]() They have produced the most amazing variety of head markings in their offspring! No masked.but, instead, we have delightful patched markings with lovely curly soft coats in black, Russian Blue, Russian Dove, and more! No wonder the wait list is full!īeautiful One's litter is equally adorable. ![]() And I paired her with the adorable "Romance Regardless" dumbo black eyed white smooth coat male. So, I bred Puma, a large velveteen Russian Blue dumbo. That is not the only reason though, in this case, I was hoping to work on developing masked dumbo smooth coats. I don't know if anyone has done this before or accomplished what I am trying to do, but, we shall see.Īt any rate, that is why I like to breed two litters at a time-in case one mother is unable to properly care for her litter. When they are old enough, I would like to breed the "future" hairless and find out if the female might be able to lactate. My goal is to outcross and try pairing a male and female from her litter in the future to hopefully produce hairless. ![]() The rats themselves, are healthy but for some reason, the females don't produce milk. I am outcrossing (breeding to unrelated rats) to try to improve the health of this line as far as the ability to produce milk. This is a problem that I am trying to work on with this particular hairless line. As some of you may remember, I had to place Beautiful One's litter with Puma shortly after they were born, because she was not lactating. Puma is doing a wonderful job taking care of both litters. However, Puma and Beautiful One's litter is now the main center of attraction around the house right now! We are having so much handling them because now, at 2.5 weeks they are venturing from the nest, eating solid foods, grooming each other, and love to crawl up to our hands chew on us and go pop-corning off to mom for reassurance! :) lol They are going to be a fun sweet laid back group I can already tell. I met lots of really nice folks and I am positive those ratlets will be spoiled! :) I always have fun finally meeting people and delivering their kittens to them. Now that it is summer time, I should have more time to write! There is certainly enough to say as life has been interesting lately! :) It has been a while! I want to apologize for not writing more frequently. ![]()
