    Are these double Rex?
    I had a litter of rats that had 4 of these semi hairless rats. The others are black and white, and some with blaze faces with full coats. The mom & dad are just normal looking black with some white rats. So are the 2 semi hairless rats double rex and what color is the cream looking one with red eyes? Also I have someone that wants to purchase them, but I don't know what a fair price is for those or if they draw a premium as a pet?

    Any help is much appreciated. If you need any additional pictures, please let me know.

    They look like the double's we've had in the past.

    They look (true) hairless. True hairless often have fuzz as babies, which they lose as adults. Sometimes they would retain a small amount of fuzz, usually on their face and around their genitals.

    If both parents are normal furred, they have to be true hairless. True hairless is a recessive gene and can be carried. Double rex is homozygous dominant for rex, so in order to product it either both parents have to be rex (you'd get normal, rex, and double rex), both double rex (in which case all babies would be double rex), or a double rex and rex (you'd get double rex and rex).

    You can probably charge $10 each if they are true hairless. At least that's what they would sell for around here from feeder or pet store stock. (Pet only breeders get away with charging more, but they also provide full pedigrees and sometimes guarantees with the rats.)

    As for color, looks like it might be albino/PEW.
