Izzy has greyish black spots all over her under her white fur (I think it is called ticking).  You can see them more when shes wet.  Will these eventually get black hair and make her appear to look like a dalmation or will they stay below the white fur?

I think it depends on how thick the hair is. Jack only has a little but what he has is under the fur. Can still see it because it is thin.

I think they are just like freckles...some ratties have more than others do. Molly has tons, where Lucy only has a few very faint ones.

The spots will stay below the fur. Your rattie won't turn into a dalmation. And you are right, they are called ticking!

Cute~ "like freckles"
Julia hardly has any on her but Caesar has a ton, although Caesar didn't have as many when he was younger..he got more the older he got.

Button has the capital T (dominant) ticking gene.  She's 3 years old and I think is continuing to get more as each year passes.....

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket We kinda like it! Never thought I'd own a spotted dog! (always had dachshunds before we got Button & Zipper).  Here's another one of Button showing off some of her more pronounced spots.
