    Double Rex (Patchwork) X Normal ?
    So I've been thinking that if I breed my Double Rex boys (i.e. patchwork or mock hairless) to my normal girls. I'd get normals, het for rex.

    But since the patchworks is a double gene does that change things? Will I get rex rats?

    Anyone know?

    edit: I'll post pics of my boys later tonight, they're the ugliest cutest things!! :D

    You will get litters of rex babies (Rex is co-dom not recessive)

    Oh, I probably could have research that on my own huh? :oops:
    I always just assumed that 'normal' is more dominant cause hey it's the norm.

    That's very cool though, thanks. :D

    The hammock is just 1/3 of a bath towel folded with paper clips stuck through it. So easy and is washes really well.

    Thanks, these pics were actually during their 'naked' faze. They've got full body hair right now that's all curly, except for a bald spot on the top of Indiana's head, he looks like an old man. :D

    I know. Once you've had rats as pets it's hard not to love them all.

    I don't mean to dig up this old thread but I just wanted to say.

    DoubleRex X Normal = DOUBLEREX!!??!

    apparentally my boys have some strong genes, I bred four litters and they all turned out double rex, my feeders look really scraggly. :P

    I didn't think so....

    Double rex x standard should be 100% rex...double rex x rex would be 50% rex 50% double rex.

    Hmmm...guess I was wrong.
