black rat genetics question....

phiber_optikx Sep 17, 2005 06:26 PM

I have a sibling pair of black rats... I will post pics of there parents, but as far as I can tell the mother is a white phase and the father is orange albino... the babies came out orange albino but if I breed them together is it possible I could get white phase?

There is a chance. If your white albino what a T-, then you would have produced all normal babies that were double het for both colors. However, since you produced all "orange" babies, there is a chance you could still get the white to come through by crossing the white parent to its offspring or by taking siblings together. The first option would be the best though. You pic didn't post, so try again. Here are a couple of pics for ya to enjoy, and I hope they help ya. One is my white albino (patternless), and the other is a clutch of albinos that came from breeding a pair of double het albinos together.

These are all from the breeder. I can't get my pics to load on here (always a megapixel problem) well here they are, mom, dad, and the babies!

just wanted to mention... after looking again at this picture I notice how little they look like "orange" albino's... I will try and get pics and have gotten confirmation from several people (including Joliff) that they are or at least they concidered them to be orange albinos!
