Hairless Dumbos?!

Noticed I had 4 that looked way different in my most recent litter of 11. Mom is a dumbo with unknown genetics. Dad is a dumbo poss. het hairless. All 4 of the suspected hairless have short curly wiskers and a tiny bit of hair.

Middle one is normal-

Outside ones are normal-

Let me know what you think :D

Yep, hairless. I've (personally) never seen a black hairless (all ours are pink) but I imagine they're possible.

Awesome, thanks! I got me some ugly, wrinkly rats :D

I wonder how much these guys sell for?

I actually have a hairless mini weenie dog....he was bred that way. And he's a dark brown:)

What coat types are the parents?

They look more like double rex patchworks to me?

Cute babies :)

Parents are normal coat types seen here:
Babies and parents from past litter

I thought double rex too but it is impossible... I've read that true hairless will grow baby fuzz but eventually lose it. I guess we'll have to see!

Well then unless they are just fuzzing up like normals I'd say they are recessive hairless and you proved out your unknown genetics.
You'll know after they molt(3-4 weeks old) if they are true hairless.
Very kewl, rat genetics are pretty crazy, lots of recessive stuff going on.

I will grab you guys some pictures of my hairless dumbo guy tomorrow. He's ALMOST at baby making age. He has some work ahead of him LOL.

I will get the picture up later, but this guy came from a dumbo x dumbo het breeding. I will have to assume that this is recessive hairless as no rex animals were present during breeding at any time.
