A blog I follow on tumblr recently posted about one of their rats. They live in Germany so the terms are unfamiliar to me--they called him a "red-eyed devil", and linked to this page, which lists them as "Marten" rats. Aren't they adorable? I've just never seen one and am curious if any of you have/had one! Note the pale muzzle and very red eyes.

i see then fairly often. They ate becoming quite common overt here since toyah (the author of rat varieties) imported them. They are nice looking but fade a lot with age. i vastly prefer the agouti version called silver agouti overt here. The Black Eyed variety is particularly striking
