Hi there! I'm new and wasn't sure if this was the appropriate place to post this. I bred a Siamese Standard Coat, Dumbo Buck (Siamese Sire X Supposed "Russian Blue" Dam) to a Himalayan Standard Coat, Standard Ear Doe with limited pedigree information (Supposed "Hairless" Sire X Supposed "Siamese" Dam - who could have very well been a Himalayan, but I only know what I was told). I just got a litter that looks like this.
I am particularly interested in the one on the top who has a dark spot....like would be seen in a Merle, but as far as I know that is not possible because: Merle only shows up on Mink based rats, such as Pearl (and I also read, occasionally, Silver Lilacs). Could it be a birth mark? Also, aside from the fact that most of them are marked, any idea what color they are?
Also, I think I have three hairless.......and while they haven't opened their eyes yet, several look to have black eyes, even some black eyed whites...The lady I bought the female from, told me she thought that the Hairless sire of my Himalayan female may have been BEW, but I didn't think too much of it.
