Hello, im just starting out breedinf my own rats(first rounds of babies should pop out any day now) and my initial plan was to breed hairless rats. I know they can digest hair perfectly fine, but i want to feed one snake alll hairless and see if it differs in growrh and how much waste is actually produced. Theoreticly it should digest its prey faster.
Anyway, i came across the problem of milk production in hairless rats and ive been trying to think of a good way to get around this.
Im breeding both fawn hooded, and hairless Nd having two seperate colonies. I figure o can try and give the fawn mothers fosyer babies if the mothers are unable to produce wnoufh milk to feed them, and if i notice it to be a terrible problem, cycle the mother, breed a male hairless to a female fawn, breed two babies together producing more hairless, and theoreticly the milk production genes should be a little more reinforced right? If i do this every time the milk gets spotty i should be able to create a healthy and self sustaining hairless colony. What do you think? HS anyone else managed a successfil hairless colonu? If so what di you do to make it work?
