Re: They aren't all cute
I just had to point out that all rexes ARE "het" for rex.
It's a co dominant gene, rexes are heterozygous rex, and "super" or "double" rexes are the homozygous form.
It's not possible to have a het for a rex that isn't a visible rex.
So if one parent was definitely NOT a rex then that's a true hairless and not a double rex hairless. Or the presumed normal parent is really a rex, I've heard that as they age, the rex coat is not always as apparent as when they are younger.

Re: They aren't all cute
you know what's really cool about the hairless looking ratties? they change almost daily. one day they are dark and fuzzy, the next day they are patches of dark and light... then the next day they are all light coloured and seem hairless.
we loved watching our grow up but unfortunately she turned out to be a boy... and got fed *gulp* i still miss the little guy. my daughter didn't like him at all though... it "freaked her out" (her favourite phrase and she's only 8) to look at him LOL

Re: They aren't all cute
Reminds me of my hairless dog. If my daughter saw a hairless rat she'd make it a pet for sure. She's been begging me to buy her a hairless cavy...and a hairless cat. Yes we have a thing for odd animals here..
