What is the difference between albino and pigmented rats?
An albino rat will have no color - that is red / pink eyes, only white fur with no other pigmentation. An albino rat will have no color on their tail either, it should be pinkish. I have a white rat that I thought was albino, but as he grew older, there was some slight pigmentation on his tail, a little bit of brown/black. This means he's not a true albino, as there is pigmentation.
Can a white rat be a pet?

How do you take care of albino rats?
Like any other rat. ^ This was the original answer. While for the most part I agree, I just want to add that an albino rats do have impaired eyesight as well as sense of smell. You will notice that your albino rat will engage in head swaying. This helps them see better. Also, your albino rat's eyes are more sensitive to light and damage in general. Polka Dot is my first rat and she is also albino. She's gorgeous and lovely but you can tell when I rearrange her cage, put her someplace she hasn't been, or put her in her ball she does have a very hard time seeing where she's going. Just remember, especially when first bonding with your albino rat, that you need to take things slower than with other rats. Here's more information;
When a rat is white with grey eyes what does it mean?
This usually is a sign that you have an albino rat, albino means that there is no pigment or color this is not a disease it is just the way it was born. Humans,Dogs,Mice,Rats,Squrrels and any other living thing even a plant can be albino. Hope this helped, You can also email me at ratsmart9@yahoo.com

What has the author Milton Jay Greenman written?

Lets say that the allele for black fur B is dominant to the allele for white fur b in rats If you cross a black rat with a white rat and get offspring which are 6 black and 5 white what is the?
There are two base colors of rats, black and agouti. Agouti is the 'wild-type' rat, and it is designated with an A and is dominant. Black is the recessive form of agouti, and is designated with an a. So if you have a black rat, he is doubly recessive (aa). When you say 'white rat', I'm assuming you mean your rat is a pink-eyed-white or an albino. Rats can get this way in two different ways, either they are homozygous for albinism (cc) or they have so many other recessives that it washes out their color entirely. I am willing to bet it is an albino, as they are very common in pet stores. The problem with albinos is that when a rat is homozygous for albinism (cc), it makes them albino no matter what their other genes are. This rat could have all kinds of recessives hidden or it could have none. Since you bred your two rats and got both black and 'white' babies, I would say that your black rat carries the albino gene 'c' and your albino rat does not carry any recessives that your black rat has, except for black of course (a). So your albino rat is technically a black rat with two copies of the albino gene. I know it seems kind of confusing =) For more information about rat care including genetics please visit my website at http://careguide.evergreenrattery.com or feel free to email me at info@evergreenrattery.com . Good luck with your rats!
My rat is solid white with red eyes.Does this mean she's a lab rat?
No it doesn't mean it is a lab rat...unless you bought her from a lab? If your rat is white with red eyes this means she is what's known as 'albino' which is a total lack of pigmentation. There are albino examples in almost ALL species including humans! There is nothing wrong with your rat at all, she is just a little bit different :)
