First things first I am not breeding my rats- just so we're all clear on that, but I am trying to understand rat genetics- my question is regarding himmy or siamese rats, would you breed such a rat to an albino or other high white rat- I think this mating would result in faint markings, or albino offspring- or do you breed to another Himmy/siamese. Can you breed a Himmy to say a black hooded, and produce himmy babies- or do both parents absolutely have to carry c/ch or ch/ch genes?
I hope I don't sound silly, but I really want to know everything about my rats..
When breeding himalayan cats, each parent cat absolutely must carry the himalayan gene to reproduce himalayan offspring- I'm wondering if the same is true for rats?
Thanks
