Oh ingie that's great I have a better understanding I'll have to keep the berks than hopefully I got at least one male and female I love berks and selfs. In away everything is like co dominat. Bellany I'd be happy to sell you one of mine if I'm not to far away I'm se Brisbane.

There won't be any selfs in there because one parent was a hood. A hood x berk makes half hood half berk, and a hood x self makes all berks. You have a bunch of cute little hoods and berks
You should write a book ingie :lol: I want the first copy (autographed) hehehehe

I have a berk mum and a hooded dad - they make the nicest babies! lmao - not that i'm biased at all!! From that pair i seem to get some dark berks, dark hoodeds (like mum and dad) a couple of light hoodeds (grey/blue waiting for adult coat to confirm) and an albino or two! I've put the dad over a couple of other light hooded girls to see what i get - one of those girls surprised me and has hatched her litter early...eg tonight! The other girl should go in the next few days so i'll pop the two girls and the bubs in a maternity cage tomorrow night
They have black eyes if that helps narrow down the colour? i have a boy and a girl in this colour from the latest litter my pic on the other page shows my berk mum lol

Hehe thanks. I wouldn't go that far though
I learned all this from other knowledgable rat keepers and websites about rat genetics. I have had a while to see it all in action with my rats so I have a pretty good understanding of it. Some of those who taught me are on APS If you go to the website 'Sunshine Rats' you will find a lot of great info about rat genetics. It hasn't been updated to include details about some of the newer mutations, however it is the most comprehensive Australian site of australian rat genetics I have come across. It belongs to an APS member hehehe
There is even a litter predictor (although for it to be accurate you need to know what genes the rats carry), but if you fiddle with it for a while the other stuff makes sense.Kitana the baby in that photo is mink.
By dark I guess you mean black? Both black parents must carry mink which is recessive. Sometimes mink babies grow grey fur from the start, and sometimes they start off looking a beige colour and turn grey when they moult. Depends on your line of rats.

I haven't gone on there but I will have a look. I prefer to look at relevant Australian info because we have different genes here so I want to know about what I am working with. There are some pretty cool genes overseas though!

Always pays to remove the mother before you touch the babies eh..... I learned that early on, trying to put a lone pinkie back in with mum and got a good bite to the bone for my efforts :shock:
