Re: Just got 2 new rats!!
I have 2 hairless females and they both were bred to a normal male and had 2 litters so far and are doing fine and nurse them and everything.

I don't have any hairless in my breeding colony, however once in awhile a hairless baby or two will pop up in a litter. Usually I give them away as pets to friends.

Hrm, 2 hairless females? Have you noticed how many nipples they nurse with? How large were their litters?
Many hairless females Ive seen only have a few milk sacs (is that the right term) and are only able to nurse so many.
Re: Just got 2 new rats!!
IF she won't nurse them all the first time I MAY give her a second try. If not I'll just keep her as a pet because she is as sweet as can be. I was hand feeding her some of my feeder roaches last night. She likes them as much as the geckos do!! lol She has a full coat of hair that is very thin. Feels like when you get a buzz cut and the hair starts growing back. She's all black in color except for her feet being pink

Now they just need cute matching sweaters. ;)
Re: Just got 2 new rats!!
Haha No That is not my dog. LOL THe litters that my hairless rats have are between 8-13. They do nurse all of them just fine. I do not know how many nipples she has.
