There are so many varieties of rats, some colours can appear similar if you don't see them often. Here's an example of what a UK mink looks like compared to Lavender. #ratsofbluesky

Anise has had her second and final litter, a nice number of 6. I'm very hopeful for this litter and it could really help build one of my lines. #ratsofbluesky

Hopefully this weekend I find out what variety this boy is. Not super obvious in the pic but he has ruby eyes. I'm quite new to breeding blue based rats so I'm keen to find out from some other ratty breeder friends what he is. #RatsofBluesky

We are now officially in Christmas season and it's the first year without my precious Biscoff. She did leave me lots of rosettes and photos to remember her by though. #ratsofbluesky
