My little dumbo ratty boys have gone from a cream ("champagne) hooded marking, which has faded, to white-with a mucky-smut on the end of their noses, and they're about 3 months old now. ami_j 03-02-2008, 08:53 mine has too plain talker am i right in that mine is sister to your two boys? apparently thats how siamese rats start out :S my girl is still gorgeous though as im sure your boys are :D *Peaches* 03-02-2008, 09:28 Hold on I'll show you a pic *Peaches* 03-02-2008, 09:34 http://img184.imageshack.us/img184/5779/picture161bc5.jpg (http://imageshack.us) Plain Talker 03-02-2008, 10:13 mine has too plain talker am i right in that mine is sister to your two boys? apparently thats how siamese rats start out :S my girl is still gorgeous though as im sure your boys are :D my boys are gorgeous, they look just like the pic above... did you adopt your babby from Mojo? cos if so, yes, they'll be siblings, as my two are from Merry and Pippin. (Mojo was saying that she has kept a little champagne girl and the "hood" faded, and a black smut appearred on the little girl's nose) they are so cute, I was sat with one of them nestled in my jumper, last night,(He likes nothing more than to have a snuggle and a nap, curled up in the crook of your arm. I could have crowned them, yesterday, (well, ;) I would have but I was helpless with laughing at what the little tinkers had done. I don't quite know how they managed it, but they managed to pull my best, thick, winter-weight knitted cardigan through the cage-bars, and chewed the sleeve off it. (it was over the sofa-back, so I'm not quite sure how they got a hold of it, to pull it through. Anyway, cue one shredded cardi, utterly ruined, lol. I can't be mad at them,for more than a few seconds, though, they are just too cute. ami_j 03-02-2008, 10:14 awwwww so cute :D yup ruby is your boys sister they are little monkeys arent they lol mojo1 03-02-2008, 11:01 awwwww so cute :D yup ruby is your boys sister they are little monkeys arent they lol It's all in the breeding:hihi: There a cheeky bunch, the two I've kept are making life very interesting.

Like this (look at Mink Point Siamese)? : http://www.hawthorn.org.uk/varieties.asp I am rubbish at rat varieties (I don't breed), but I guess they might be something "point" - if they have a darker snout? Cute though :love: *Peaches* 18-05-2008, 18:41 I lost my mice last week, gutted :( SugarPuff 18-05-2008, 18:43 awwwwww! i have 2 mice, one is grey and white, the other is orange and white (don't know the proper colourings!) but the grey fur keeps fading even lighter its weird! how many mice do you keep?
