Pinto is a harley mix, likely harley/rex - harley is the long furred variety of rats, it causes long fur but no guard hairs so its a very thin coat. Rex also tends to lack guard hairs and also tend to molt in patches, and when combined with harley it can make a pretty weird coat expression! But its nothing to worry about, just genetics at work and doesn't impact her in any way
Pinto is naturally a very chill rat! Like any young rat she has her moments of craziness and zoomies, but she is typically quite calm and is happy to hang out on my lap much of the time (outside of training, which she loves, and her daily pea-fishing, which she would never give up lol).
She really is! She and all my current girls from her breeder are some of the friendliest and most "puppy-like" rats I've had - I am so impressed with this breeder, I have had many friendly rats over the years but never have I had every single rat be so confident and people obsessed! And Pinto is a great example of that, she is just perfect in every way <3

Is she okay? She seems low energy in your posts, is she just recovering from rat zoomies?
