The Blonde Horde

How to Make a Blonde Horde:

1. First start with your colony of female hairless stock breeders (most of which are RED beige/fawn mix - what I call 'Zoo Hue').
2. Mix it with equal number of females from your co-breeder in the same color scheme.
3. Add a 4-female colony dash of an unrelated group.
4. Blend slowly, allowing for the girls to merge using the largest containment vessel you have. (cages work great)
5. Stand back and wait for individual rats to settle.
(This part may take some time depending on if any of your ingredients were hot [in heat])

Individual rat personalities will vary the energy produced but if you have done this correctly, it will be almost impossible for you to identify 75% of the ingredients without separating them by hand.

Verification tests for the Blonde Horde are as follows:
*If you open the cage door and are immediately mugged - you might just have a Blonde Horde.
*If every single girl in the cage goes into heat and the flapping of their ears lifts the cage two feet into the air - you might just have a Blonde Horde.
* if you walk by the cage and 16 pairs of eyes watch your every movement - you might just have a Blonde Horde.
* and lastly, if you employ the bathtub method of containment during cage cleaning and THIS is the result: See Video

Congratulations, you have a Blonde Horde!!

Individual pictures of the girls below and next page. Please note that surface skin scratches are normal for a hairless rat kept with other rats. They don't have the fur to protect from normal ruff housing and usually they don't require anything other than a dob of Neosporin.

I have plenty of cute little sock dresses they could wear, but they are nudists at heart (as long as they have a furred rat to shack up with). Bless their little hippie earth-mother souls.

Above and right - PX 'lole [ee oh' leh] means rodent in Hawaiian - Dumbo Fawn Hairless.
Above and right - PX Fifi - Fawn Rexed Dumbo hairless/carrier Fifi has the distinctive habit or turning into a Vibrating Tribble when she goes into heat.
Above and right - ZT Gisselle Dumbo 'Zoo Hue' hairless/carrier (PiliLani is also in the picture to the right) above and right - PX Konani [co naw nee]which means Bright in Hawaiian. But what it should mean is ONE BAD RAT. This girl is reform school bad and she talks trash constantly. Squeak, squeak, squeak. See that nick on her ear? I am sure it was her fault. Konani is a Standard 'Zoo Hue' rex hairless/carrier.

Below is the cage that the Blonde Horde resides in. It is a custom made Martins Cage 4' x 4' x 2 1/4' with two full levels, and added shelves. It was originally intended for the Prairie Dogs but because Phoenix Gate downsized her side of my hairless line, I had to repurpose the cage. To clean it, I basically roll the thing end over end out the door to the patio. It is not that it is extremely heavy, but it's bulky as hell and the wire spacing doesn't allow for a good finger grip.

The photo was taken when it housed 8 large males.
