Yes, they originated back around the late 80's early 90's from Bill Love's crossing Amel Black rats into Yellow rat and Everglades rats. They can be extremely variable as well. Some can be a very pale light pink with a barely noticable pattern, some very orange/pink with lots of bold pattern, or anything in between.

Someone else asked here about these not long ago. Anyway, they are three-way crosses, but who really knows what is in some of the so-called "bubblegums" in the hobby anymore. At the rate people cross things now days, there could also be some other things in some of the more recent lines too, .....who knows.
