:IMHO, you'd be better off mating her to a known T+ or T- black rat.
Well, I've no way of doing that. I only have access to what I've got in my own collection, and I live too far away from anywhere to be able to use another breeder's already proven T- or T+ animal. (I'm in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories.)
:I think the best incubation method for black rat x corn eggs is submerging them in boiling water for at least 10 minutes.
If I did that, I'd never know whether my obsoletas were T- or T+.
:Alternatively, a tyrosinase test could be done.
Test mating would be a lot cheaper.
:Unfortunately, I do not know anybody who is selling known T+ or T- black rats. Though there should be some breeders who know what their stock is.
I want to know what mine are, and I want to be able to tell my customers exactly what they're getting.
:And I don't know anybody doing tyrosinase tests, which are probably fairly expensive. 8-(
Thanks for your input.
