Question about recessive hairless genetics

So my two hairless boys still have fuzz/kinked guard hairs (I can see their skin through the thin coat) even though they are med. size. Will they ever lose all their fur?

They were from a het. to het. breeding

Hairless can be almost bald, completely bald...mostly bald...just fuzzy. Its impossible to tell until they get to adulthood.

exactly. my hairless rat is completely bald. ive got 2 hairless mice, one is completely bald, the other is like fluffy but has like idk half as much hair as usual if not less

Are they true recessive hairless or just double rex or double Velveteens?

got pics?

Because you said that the hair that it does have is kinky/wavy that sounds more like it's got some rex in it.

Definitely recessive, you can see the parents on this thread:

Never had a rex/velveteen before!
I can get fresh pics of the boys later.

I was hoping they'd be completely bald, I hate waiting lol

Any current pics of the babies? :)

How old are they? Sounds like double rex to me. :P

Since rex is a co-dom trait and the parents both have straight fur, they can't throw double or even single rex.

Rex isn't co-dominant. :P
It's dominant.

They would be double rex if both parents were rex. It's possible to be rex, and have no curl. :)

If the parents aren't rex, then the babies are certainly just ugly hairless critters. Lol!

Edit:
(Sorry didn't see the pics of the parents! The babies are almost certainly hairless. Or some variant of hairless. :) )
