I use the back to nature paper pellets for my guys and it has little to not dust which is great :) I also give them hay/stray at times too which they loooove digging through!

If you check out this website - What Rat Is That? - you'll be able to work out what colours/patterns you have :)
 
The 2 bad things I have heard about wood shavings is the chemicals in it and the dust? Breeders choice is quite dusty too so it is really the chemicals that are a worry, the fact that the rats will ingest it, then of course, so will the snakes.
its hysorb :D i checked today.

i knew it wasnt pine so its nothing serious. you'd be surprised how many big rat breeding companies use pine.

hahaha Down Under Hooded.....the mind boggles :shock:
if better downunder berkshire!
 
Better Pics of my ratties: Wanting to know the colour of them, just new to breeding rats. Cheers.

Any help would be great, cheers :)
 
Hey I'm not sure what your asking when you say it's a black rat with whites socks and belly. It's called a black Berkshire. Any rat with a white tummy is a Berkshire.in your first pick it looks like 2 of the hooded rats are brown? I can see there colour that well but they look like agouti.
im new to breeding myselve so I'm preety useless

She is Black, white underneath and white feet. Awesome thanks :)

They look black but then go a dark brown with lighter flecking through the coat.
Thanks :)
