You will get standard hair, rex, and double rex (mock hairless)

K thanks I just wanna make some hairless too so trying to see if I had ones to make it lol

Yeah Rex x Rex will make rats that look like they have mange..lol I don't find it appealing. Think of it as a superform!
Full hairless is it's own thing.

How can I get full hairless do I need to buy some hairless studs? This is annoying I have to keep sinning my phone cuz bottom quarter of screen is dead:(

Some double rex are patchy, but only low quality ones. High quality double rex will look hairless. Or at least peach fuzzy.

True hairless females have issues producing milk for nursing, so just be aware of that if you go into hairless.

Easy solution. Look for nipples. Males don't have any, just the females. (Easy to see around their lower abdomen)

You should still be able to see even with fur. How old is the rat?

3 weeks its just lack of experance getting me thrown off lol

Rats can be sexed the day they are born :P

Rex X Rex = 25% standard coat, 50% rex and 25% double rex.
Mock hairless is a trait of double rex and since double rex is not a showable rat there is no such thing as a poor quality coat on one imo.
Personally I like the patchworks better :)

These are double rex's

Patch work ones are kinds cute haha an I know they can be just first litter so I've had thoughts its two boys and one girl an I'm right a bout the boys just not sure about the girl yet jus don't wanna say till I know for sure

Able to get pics of the babies? I'm sure we can help you sex them too! lol

Just an interesting note - Not all hairless rats will have trouble lactating. I knew a breeder who had a line of hairless rats that were exceptional mothers, lactating and everything. She routinely bred hairless to hairless without any problems at all. I personally wouldn't be willing to take the risk unless I knew the line well. If it is a concern, but you want to be guaranteed hairless babies, you can always breed two females at once (one hairless) and foster the hairless babies onto the haired mom.

I ill post pics when I'm done with some home work haha I'm slightly color blind is why I have problems with all the fur their now i can't see any other color then white, I want hairless cuz I find them goofy and again I know people that want hairless pets lol kids have allergies

Lol I just figured no hair nothing to make kids sneeze ha could be way wrong tho if I am ill have to tell the parents that lol

I've heard people say hairless are hypoallergenic, but I don't believe it. Often when people are allergic to rats, it is their urine, not their fur or saliva (as with cats).

Anecdote:
I'm actually allergic to rats (despite 10 years of breeding and 20 years of keeping!), and it's the urine. If they pee on me, that's fine, but when their little nails scratch me, it "injects" the urine particles under my skin, and I get a major reaction. Cleaning time can really suck too because the urine particles can become aerosol and if I breath them in I can get an asthmatic reaction. The few times I've handled hairless rats, I actually had a pretty severe reaction to them. Not sure what it was about them vs. a normal furry rat, but it was not a fun experience.

But if people want hairless rats because they think they are hypoallergenic... more power to them I guess! lol

1. male
2. male
3. female

"People with cat allergies are really allergic to proteins in the cat's saliva, urine, and dander"

I assume it's no different with rats, so hair has nothing to do with it except that they don't leave the hair laying all over with dander attached to it.

:) good lol the female will stay then and awesome I was correct on my guesses
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/12/07/be5udu6e.jpg
This girl needs a name now lol they can be moved to seprate tanks at five weeks? My neighbor is taking the males for 30 :)

I concur; male male female. :)

5 weeks is a fine time to separate. Some will separate as early as 3 or 4 weeks, but I personally always left mine for 5 weeks, never any problems.

Any name "theme" preference? I see an "Iris" when I look at that last picture, but that may be too "flowery" lol

Glad that works, she's a cute little girl!

I know what you mean about names... I have to see the animal and get a feel for it before a name really sticks. My puppy went weeks before she had a name. My tortoise and silky chickens still don't have names, and I'm not even going to bother with naming the other chickens! Ironically my rosy boas ended up with names pretty quickly, but that had more to do with their colors than anything else! lol ("Char" for the "charcoal" colored boa, and "Cin" for the "cinnamon" colored boa)

I told my husband I like the mojave ball pythons, and that the color is apparently nicknamed "mojo". So he responds, "Oh is that what you'll name the snake?" lol :rolleyes: :P

Lol I try my best to name but it never works lol idk how my male ball is named sly I got his as a baby three years ago and somewhere along the lines his name is sly my mom named this rats parents and my one male my buddy names before I got him and the other is lucky cuz he survived lol other wise my dog was named at the rescue and my carpet I just call big girl cuz I've had her for four or five months and I can't name her
