Hi Lisa!

Congrats! I just love blazes on rats! I'm pretty resistant to the "newest
thing" syndrome...I love all rats, dumbos, rexes, blues, PEWs.... but I
admit to a real soft spot for blazes and for self blacks. I'd love to see
pix of your newest ones!

I've heard that some blaze lines have a problem with megacolon...due to some
irresponsible breeders, natch...glad to know that there are responsible
folks out there working on these flashy and gorgeous coat patterns!

Paige
