#fancy rat types

Jeremy when I got him:

Jeremy recent:

His waves are going away in favor of just looking scruffled all the time.

He was not that interested in me when we first met, but he is now the rat that loves me the most.

Sal when I got him:

Sal now:

He's bigger, not much else has changed yet.

He's Extremely soft and he's suspected to be a silvermane rat, but he is not at allll aggressive which is a risk of silvermanes apparently.

Judas when I got him:

Judas now:

He's siamese!!

They're color changers!

As they age, they lose the darker beige and their tips go dark.

Martin and Jeremy have white chests on otherwise single colored bodies, which is apparently called "Irish" for some reason. They're dumbo, a satin and a velveteen.

Velveteen is apparently a mix of rex and satin I think. It's a softer version of rex, and not quite curly. It's more wavy, and it is quite soft like satin rats are.

I think the younger boys are Berkshire patterned, colored on top with white bellies. I can't tell yet since they're so young, they aren't super comfy around me yet and their guard hairs will grow in later and show more of their coloration.

I'm pretty sure their fur type is just standard fancy rat fur, but their body type is 100% standard ear.
