The “Agouti” coat, a dominant trait and reminiscent of the coloration found in wild rats, is a captivating blend of brown shades with individual hairs banded, creating a mesmerizing mosaic of colors in their fur. They boast a lighter, almost creamy underbelly, adding to their unique charm. With age, their color may gracefully shift to brown and yellowish tones, lending an enchanting depth to their appearance.
In our breeding endeavors, we once had a dedicated female Agouti Silvermane breeder, resulting in the birth of both Silvermane Agoutis and plain Agoutis, often exhibiting the Berkshire pattern. These enchanting Agouti rats also made appearances in our Siamese Harley lines, creating a delightful tapestry of colors and patterns. Notably, we’ve even introduced Velveteen Agoutis into the mix, adding an extra layer of softness to their already striking appearance. Now in 2024 after not breeding agoutis for over a year we had a rex marten bring us our lost agouti gene back!
