Nice looking pair Jerry and good luck with the breeding:gj: my male looks just like yours.

Beautiful, beeeaauuutiful rats!
I'm just getting involved with manx (I only have one male Manx), so I can't say this based off of experience....but I've always heard that female Manx are either sterile or that if they do get pregnant, they have difficulties giving birth. Have you ever witnessed this?
Please, keep this thread updated! I'm very interested in this! I'm trying to learn as much as I can about the Manx.

Very interesting project. The Russian Blue Baldie Manx Blaze female looks amazing.

Good luck with your project, and thanks for sharing!

I have no idea, if you know of any links to actual deliveries involving manx females I'd sure like to read.
This girl appears to be about 15-18 days pregnant so it won't be too long.

We make quite a few baldies in blue and agouti but to have a blue baldie be a manx was a nice surprise.

Thanks, I will update as I can.

I wish I could find any links about actual deliveries with the Manx females :(
I did find a couple sites saying that as long as it's a good line of Manx, the females can get pregnant and have babies no problem though.
Can't wait to see what they produce! Now you just have to get some dwarf in with that mix! ;)

She came from a dwarf breeding, her dad is no longer with us although they did breed together at one point so I'm not sure what will come from this litter :confused:
After this pairing if it is successful she will be bred with a different dwarf that we hope is a dwarf gene carrier.
I can't wait to choose hold backs for further breeding, the amount of recessive genes in them will be :rolleye2:

thats exciting for sure!
Please keep us updated on photos of the new pups!

Jerry...WHAT THE HECK? Why do you rock so hard core? Haha.

It goes without saying that you breed some of the nicest rats I have seen. I hope you have a large litter and do end up breeding with the dwarf. Congratulations. :)

Man, those hairless are so ugly...they're actually cute! lol. Congrats on that pairing! Wish you luck with them! :gj:

Agreed. Good luck!

Thank you for the compliments everyone, hopefully some kewl ratties come from this pairing, time will tell.
I'll get some pics of the babies when she has them :)

RIP lil girl....:(

The female blue baldie passed away trying to deliver last night....:mad:

So much for this project, we have another manx female ready to breed but now I'm not so sure I want to risk her :confused:

Oh man that always sucks. Sorry! Try again though at some point!


Check out what's new on my website... www.Homegrownscales.com

Aww man, I'm sorry that happened :(
You don't have any male Manx you can breed with female Manx carriers?

So sorry to hear that... :(

Im so sorry Jerry! That's horrible. But without breeding how will the project continue?

Sorry to hear that Jerry. I don't blame you for not wanting to risk losing the other female.

I wish we did, we've been blessed with 3 females so far, one died at 3 weeks old and now this one leaving us one.

Yeah I think I was just in shock, we will probably continue with pairing the next girl, fingers crossed.

I really don't want to but it's a risk we have to take if we want to continue the project.

Thanks for the kind words, I will miss her she was one of those especially social friendly rats that will be remember.

That sucks man. I think they have some other issues going on. I have a male one and I think he's sterile, or possibly gay. No offspring. I have a girl i'm gonna try soon.
