Rat pregnant, whats colours/patterns will I get?

Question

My male rat has somehow managed to get in with my girls for no more than a few mins (still trying to work out how!). Well we now have one pregnant female, can tell as she is turning into a tennis ball. Just wondering what colours/patterns are likely to come out as these two I would have never normally crossed.

Male/Buck - Blue Agouti Capped

Female/Doe - Champagne Hooded

Answer 1

well you cant really tell because it doesn't necessarily HAVE to inherit all its traits from its parents. It could inherit some from its grandparents or even great great grandparents and so on. So you wont be able to know for sure.

Answer 2

well i accidentally bought a pregnant a rat once! she was silver hooded and the father was her brother!!! He was like a peach and white type but the babies came out brown and white and then changed colour to grey, silver peach and white!! so really unless you know like the whole family tree then its hard to tell!

your most likely to get:

some Blue Agouti Capped and some Champagne Hooded

or a mix of them both together

I think that blues more dominant as darker coulours usually are

Really you will just have to wait but they sound like they are going to have some beautifull paternings and colourings!

Good luck with the babies!  

Answer 3

I had two unplanned litters, the little rascals did the deed through the cage bars. Now i do a fair bit of research with rat genetics, but i'm still not entirely sure if i have got it spot on but from what i know you should get Agouti's, Blue Agouti's and Silver Fawn/Amber.  Cant answer the questions on markings yet still working on that  area of genetics but you should? get some capped and some hooded.  And its also hard to tell in some areas of colour because animals can be carriers of any different genes, all they need is a partner who matches and up pops something different.

Answer 5

You will probably have agouti and champagn capped and hoodeds. But probably mostly hooded. But no way to tell till they are born
