The ones in the first two pictures are hooded, and the last one is a Himalayan. And of course, they are very cute.
 
himalayan ... okay now i have the proper term. the hooded one's i didn't know they official name, but i've seen 'em (and owned) before. Do himalayan's come in other colors or just the brown points? :shrugs:

Click to expand...

I'm pretty sure just brown
 
Himalayans can come in any point colour, but seal is the most common as true Himmies are so pale the other colours aren't really distinct.

I have some information on rat varieties on my website - http://hawthorn.org.uk/varieties.asp - if that's of any interest to you.
 
Nice ratties, but as mentioned, that's not a siamese it's a himi. :) They come with a variety of points... I have siams and siam hoodies, will take pics for you! :)

This was my sable-pointed siamese girl...

I actually got her from a Petshop, I was there collecting mice and just thought to ask if they had any rats, I saw her and just had to have her!!! She had a piece of her ear missing but otherwise seemed in good health.

I assume she was either someone's pet that they got sick of (she was VERY tame, clearly used to being handled) or she was a feeder - breeder passed her prime, which is also possible. She lived out the rest of her days with me as a spoiled pet and died of old age not long ago.
 
hehe of course i noticed after i asked that you're in South Africa, so location of where you got her isn't super helpful to me.

Stephen offered to give me a few of his dumbo siamese, so hopefully when i drive down to so cali next may i'll take him up on the offer.

Unless anyone else knows where to get them around OR?
