I am curious to know whether or not four of my boys are truly brothers or not. They were picked up from a hoarder's house at the beach last summer and we were told they were siblings, but this person had *a lot* of rats and shifted them around constantly. Usually I see litters that just have two or three kinds of rats (ex: pews, agouti hoodies, agouti berks/selfs). These rats were all definitely the same age, around 5 weeks. But I was just wondering if they're true siblings, and if it's possible to determine simply by their color/markings. Here was the group:
x1 female - agouti hooded
x1 female - PEW
x1 male - PEW
x1 male - black berk
x1 male - black hooded
x1 male - blue agouti berk
Is it possible to have all five of these "types" in one litter? What would their parents have been? It's the blue rat that really throws me off...he just seems out of place, ya know?
