No I've had hooded, capped, barebacks, siamese, and blazed rats in the past. I looked it up on the AFRMA website and it's actually a tri-color. I've never seen one before and it just kinda surprised me. I've seen most other rats in person. I thought maybe this was just a newer marking that had just come about or something.she's an adorable one LOL
that's a fairly common color and markings for a rat, have you only had pink eyed white rats in the past?
I think she'd be called a black berkshire but I'd have to check, there's a few sites that show all the different colors and markings

and others
The poor rex thing could be a possibility. The breeders do have a lot of rexs. It would be interesting to know if she carried the rex trait.oh I didn't even notice that lighter patch, must not have been fully awake when I looked the first time
I've never heard of tricolor.
I've had some rex rats that had thin areas of fur on them, and I think they are called "poor rex" because they are a poor representation of that type...
I stand by my first assessment however, the girl in the photo IS adorable lol

Oh ok lol. I feel ya on the whole brain not working properly thing. With 3 littles driving me crazy all summer, I feel most of the time like my brain is on standby. Thank God the 2 oldest started back to school this week lolOH I'm sorry I didn't mean, maybe your rat is a poor rex, I meant to say maybe the 3 colors is a um mistake, or a poor version of a standard color. Is what I was trying to say
lol
oh I think some days I should just shut up - at least til my brain has warmed up a bit
LOL
I think that is about the neatest thing I have seen thus far! I was showing my daughters pics of all the different colors that rats come in. My 6 year old asks if there were any pink rats. I of course told her no. I guess I'll have to show her this pic when she gets home lol. Too bad she didn't keep the coloring. That would have made for an awesome conversation starter lolHere is a pic of my special needs PEW molting. She looks like a pink hoodie lol
