Questions about double rex rat

Glad I found this thread. I just had a litter and we have 3 of theses. I didn't know what they were. I will post pictures of them later for comparison.

Here are the 3 we just had from the same litter. Any thoughts?

They look Rex to me. What were the parents?
But they can change looks as they grow and molt.

They look like patchwork rats to me.

I have a double Rex momma she's like all bald but little nose patch, who was breed to a Rex male. I got 13 from here 8 have the Rex fur I normally don't see double Rex babies start loosing their fur until after their a month then it's like thinning not sure if that's just mine but I have had tons of them I like mock hairless females cuz they don't have lactating problems I've been told the hairless have. Is that true btw? I would like a true hairless colony but don't want any problems with the girl.

Double rex's/patchwork rex have no issues lactating.

Double rex X a rex makes 50% rex and 50% double rex, no standard coats can be made in that pairing since Double rex always throws rex just like a super pastel always throws pastels.

That's my patchwork with some of her babies she was bred to a Rex as of now there are like four with normal fur?

Double rex's have very bristly hair as adults, that's a recessive trait hairless in your pic, not a patchwork.
The fact you bred to a rex is why you have some rex's and some standard coats.
Those rex's will all carry the hairless gene.
It's not possible for a double rex to make standard coats.

Patchworks look like the male I posted ^^^ there.
