If this is lab and you are just marking hair, not skin directly - I've used both china black ink (pretty classic marker) and sharpies (shorter term, but with remarking as needed, lasts quite a while, and gives you a great color range). Other standard protocols include notching ears for eared rodents (let them recover from the stress before doing any tests on them), and marking nails with the marking materials (codes by which nail[s] is [are] marked).
