    My guess is a rex hairless..

    If you notice the curly whiskers already, then im guessing rexhairless (thats what I call them)

    All of mine started out as looking like rex, but then they lose their hair , or most of it :)

    All hairless have curly whiskers.. they don't need the rex gene to have them.

    Cool, I can only speak for rex / rex hairless , thats all I have :)

    Do the other types of hairless really have some hair, or is that just the rex hairless?

    I don't know what you mean by rex hairless.. you mean double rex (homozygous rex?) ..those have patchy hair.

    True hairless have peach fuzz all over, whiskers, and nothing more.

    I have found in my experience that you can have almost a completely hairless double rex if you provide them with enough nutritious foods. If my female goes even a day without fresh food she starts getting little patches of hair. O think it has as much to do with diet as it does temps. My dbl. rex female has a full coat of black peach fuz. I am keeping her in the garage where it gets 40-50 at night. Her babies hair is thick as ever. Gotta love the edible rats!!
