Can anyone help me with a site that shows me the colours etc for rats. As much as I try to understand the colours etc I still find it hard to grasp... I have 19 bubs coming up to 4wks old and another few litters after that & would love to identify them correctly

Sharz,rather than a constant reference to dapper..maybe we can ask our members to submit pictures of thier rats.We need good clear pictures though of markings and such.

then you will be getting picture left right and center and with over 15 rats that will take forever.. the reference to dapper is great and will now be able to tell myself. Especially when I need a colour reference ie mink, champagne etc the markings are easy now that I have something to refer to

Dapper doesn't have every colour or marking to book, I think it would be a great idea to start a varieties post.

I agree ..Um Sharz and 28thrat, would you be willing to accept emailed pictures of each rat submitted,then we can decide to add the best pic,rather than filling the forum with piccies
Also it would be an idea to add he show rules as a good guide to conformation etc.

I would, Im not sure about 28 though, her computer is a little, er, old. Would it be better if we set it up in a PDF format to be downloaded? Ill start writing up a guide, as soon as Im on my own computer.

Okay. Can everyone/anyone email me quality photos of your rats, showing their colour, and if you have quality photos showing their marking. I will also be looking for coat type photos, but I may have enough between me, Lakeisha and Mushaka. After we get a rat one going, we could attempt a mouse one, but it will be harder, and take much longer, so we will see how this one goes first *email groovy-cat@hotmail.com *

I took some piccies of my rat Raphael but the pics make me think maybe he's not a cinnamon like we thought cos his eyes glow red..
