The captivating world of “Merle” rats reveals a dominant trait that uniquely expresses itself on mink-based rats, such as Pearl. Much like the merle pattern seen in dogs, Merle in rats paints a charming tapestry of colored spots and splotches across the rat’s body, crafting a distinctive and handsome portrait that’s most pronounced in their youth, gradually softening as they mature. In our current rat family, Merle rats grace our Dwarf-sized rats, adding an extra layer of enchantment to their already delightful personalities and appearances.
