I can answer any question you got about Guinea pigs,Rats, Hamsters, Mice,Chinchilla's,Gerbils,Hedgehogs, Squirrels, Rabbits...Basically all RODENTS . Feeding, breeding, sexing,cages,illness,places on the internet to learn more, ect.

Experience
I have 1 guinea pigs at this time one male. I also have two rats. Earlier this year 2008, we had 106 rats rescued in our rescue here in Lake City. I have had rodents for quite some time and even run my own pages and a rescue related to rodents. Each year we get several rodents that come in our rescue. From rabbits, rats, mice, gerbils, hamsters, and even exotics. It is fun and where many think that only cats and dogs need a place to come we often forget the little guys.

Question
I was wondering if it was posable to crossbreed Afraicn fur rat with the common house pet rat? or if you know of it ever being done?

Answer
Their real name is Natal Multimammate Mouse. I researched for a long time and found no indication that they cross breed with other rats or mice. You best bet would be to place them together and if they breed and have babies within 21 days then you will know. I am sorry that I could not find more information. However, I did get some good websites you may like to look into. Thanks so much for using all experts :)
