Double rex? Single? Hairless?
Ok, so I've got my first litter of 'hairless' that I haven't fed off. So, I'm pretty sure the mother is a hairless ( or not. What do I know?), but I'm thinking the dad is a double rex. The babies have some wavy curls and VERY curly whiskers. But, I've read that some double rex and/or hairless are born with hair, but lose it over time. I'm still working on figuring out the genetics behind the parents. After I have an available female, I'll breed the sire to a standard haired.
I've also got another litter of his on the ground, but I'm pretty sure the dam is his sister (bought them from the same source, at same age) so I'm not sure that will prove anything out.
If anyone with experience breeding rex and double rex, I'd love some input.
One of the babies in question:

Re: Double rex? Single? Hairless?
Thanks guys! I'm fairly confident they aren't hairless, but I've never seen double rex babies, so I'm not sure :/ They all have wavy/curly hair, some more than others. I'm leaning toward single rex, but time will only tell. I'm kind of pumped, I've been wanting to add some rex into my colony.
Anyway, here's some pics of the proud parents:

He does have a light coat of hair on his lower half.

Dad looks like a double rex, mom a recessive hairless.
Making the babies all rex and all hairless carriers.

Having worked with rex, double rex, and hairless before, SnakesRKewl hit it right on the head.

Thanks guys, that's what I figured. I'll probably breed dad to my standard coats just to be 100% (and to get some more rexes ;) ).
