Odd-Eyed
Description
An Odd-Eyed rat has one eye that is a different and lighter color than the other. This is usually very distinct, such as black/pink or ruby/pink. The rat's body may have any recognized color or marking, but Odd-Eyed is associated with High-White Markings and will usually occur on those rats.
Genetics
There are multiple factors involved in Odd-Eyed rats, they are not directly inheiritable, but they are associated with High-White genes and as such should be considered at-risk for Megacolon.
