Got some pictures of the boys today... and yes I have another one! While looking for Moss I noticed him and couldnt leave him all alone. The bonding has been tricky (why I didnt want an older one!) but think they have settled now.

He is a dumbo rat- thats why his ears are different. I think his colour is British blue?

It's no more difficult really. They're in a pair and a trio as Cedric has issues with all rats except Brian despite having seen the plum fairy! Your British blue may have blood clotting issues depending on where he's from, it's genetic thing, so be aware of that. Hard to tell from the pic but he could be Russian blue agouti rather than British blue.

Does he have a very short thick coat that feels different to the other two? If he does he's probably Russian blue or Russian blue agouti (I'm about half way through my judge training with the national fancy rat society).
The varieties are all here:

Haha I have now admitted that he may be a wee bit fat.. just a wee bit so he is on a diet. I think its because when he lost Malcolm he stopped being as active, but now he has a baby to run after I hope he loses it.
