Name: Inki Sex: Doe Variety: Black roan Date of birth: 27 March 2002 Number in litter: 15 Weight: 327g (5 November 2002)

We collected Helsinki and her half-sister, Christy, from the Surbiton Show on 15 June 2002. She has kept her colour very well, and hasn't faded as much as most of our other roans. She is still almost as dark at 11 months old as she is in this photo.

Inki was bred to Hamish and had a litter of 4 kittens on 29 January 2003. She has been an excellent Mum, happy for me to handle her little family from the start. To find out more, please follow the Kittens link above.

Inki is related to quite a few of our other rats. Holly and Willow's sister, Stiria, is one of her great grandparents. She more closely related to Catkin (who is her grand-dam Willow's sister) and distantly to Hamish, Arran, Heather and Skerry (through her great grandsire Balatro's son, Stan). It's nice, as well as useful, to have detailed pedigrees!

Hear Inki squeak! (650KB). I wasn't hurting her, just stroking her, and she made all this noise.
