"Dude...what?"

Looks stoned. XD

It looks like he has some champagne coloring on his head. Is it really there or the pic is just showing colors that arent there?

I think he is a silver fawn or topaz capped. I think he's too dark for champagne, but there is definitely colour there.

Hmm, I think Ill have to wait for another pic of him... it just looks like a tiny bit of light brown or orange on his face, just enough to barely see but again that may be due to the lighting from the camera.
Wish I had baby rats again but the itty bitty joy only lasts for such a short time. I'm limited to my 5 atm, not enough space for more... My guys are getting to the stage of their life where they arent too interested in exploring and would rather just find a place to nap.

Oh sorry to place this here but have any advice for me. I have 4 rats that are over 1.5 years old and one that is about 8-9 months old that I adopted from my job because he was super skiddish and attempted to bite, in an aggressive manner(i know the difference), so no one wanted him. Hes not as skiddish as he was when I got him at about 4-5 months old, but he still is skiddish especially when out of the cage. He almost turns wild in a sense where he runs frantically away and will not go back into the cage on his own like the others do. I have to tempt him with goodies and then hold him by the base of his tail so he wont run away and scoop him into my hand.. I hate doing this. I've never had a rat so difficult to come around, in the cage hes relatively fine despite attempting to show dominance to the others and getting put in his place time and time again. Not sure if he has hormone issues as he is very muscular, very beefed up, compared to other rats I've had. Hes not blind or deaf either. Im getting used to how he is but hes such a pain sometimes. He has never bitten me or anyone else I have allowed to handle him.

Dawww widdle babby

The feets!!!

dawww

Aaahhh your rats are so just so friggin cute!!

d'awwww!! He's just reached the age when they get so adorable cute!! Just wanto kiss his stomach ;)

Squinty little pudge. ^^ It's too bad you can't really see his colours in this one, I really liked his pattern.

Yeah, he's awful to photograph, he just comes out as a white blur because of the flash. I can't not use flash because I can't take him into natural light yet as he will get cold if I take him outside or out of his room. I do have some less quality photos were you can see his colours better, I'll post one.

But what a face! <3

Is he soooo perfect that others are jealous of him?

Hope you're watching it with the flash on your camera.. There are mixed opinions, but I lean towards caution. Rat's have sensitive eyes. Flashing the camera could cause damage. Just saying. Since they are developing and still very young

Usually, I block it off halfway so it doesn't fire fully, and choose to back off and zoom a little rather than hold the camera right near them. To be honest, rats with pale eyes are virtually blind anyway, but regardless, yes, Im careful.

that has cute written all over it *melts*
