I talked to Mr George back in August. My amel black rats are his "Sunset" line, so I wanted to hear their story, as well as the Licorice history. The original Licorice was caught by a young kid "as it crossed Winter's Run". It ended up in George's hands via a friend, and he thought at first it was a male. Within a few years he had raised up het's to breed to each other and back to the original, the rest is history
