    Excited to start working with these new rats!

    Ok, so they aren't new or rare, but they are new for me! Just got these girls yesterday. Pics do not do them justice!


    Hairless


    Russian Blue


    Roan (too bad her light markings didn't show up in this shot)


    Golden Siamese (this pic really dulled down her color)


    Hopefully I can breed the rex coat out of the roan and siamese lines.

    Breeding rex out is easy, breed to a standard coat and get half rex and half standard...

    Why would you want to breed the rex coat out?
    Siamese rex's are awesome, I have made many hundreds of them and they sell super fast as pets.

    Jerry, Your rex look very soft and wavy, while mine seem to be coarser haired. Just different quality or what?

    I'm starting a hairless project myself. I had one colony randomly throw me two hairless males. I fed off the male from that colony and dropped one of the hairless males back in with the moms, but they started chewing him up. I pulled him back out and split the two hairless males up and got 4 new females to introduce to them on Saturday. So far, they seem to be getting along better. The one male has been bit a couple times by these females too, so either he's gettin' the job done or the ladies just don't like him... So, hopefully I'll have some more hairless babies coming in the next couple months...

    Thanks everyone!
    Why would you want to breed the rex coat out?
    These two are probably the lowest quality rex I've seen, hardly any curl. I like higher quality rex, but I can't seem to get any!
