:confused: Now, I know my eyesight is terrible and not always to be trusted. But those guys look nice 'n furry to me. They look like little rex's to me. VERY cute...and nothing at all like the hairless babies I've seen. :confuzd:

Mighty cute, though!!!

lol Hairless rats start off fairly furry and lose it all over time. The curly hair is so cute though

Really? Very interesting. I've seen some in the pet store that were about that size, and they looked like shrivelled up old men. :giggle: Poor little hairless things! How fast do they lose the hair once it starts to go? I think I'd be heartbroken to have such a pretty little rat turn into an old crone! :P

(And to all the hairless rat lovers...I don't mean any of that insultingly...I know they have just as much right to be loved and adored as all the cute critters out there! ;) )

Haven't firgured it all out yet why they can loose hair one day and have some extra the next day. When I got my females at about small rat size, she was full of hair that was very short. Now she has a few random bands and blotches of hair that weren't there a week ago!

Sure you do :rolleyes: (this is in response to the last part here):rofl: :lmao: :twisted: :tears: :tears:

Those are rexes, not hairless. Hairless babies get fur(it is much thinner and breaks easily) and by the time they are 3 weeks old or so, it will start falling out. Especially with how their whiskers are, more kinky than curly. Hairless' whiskers look very curly, like you stuck your finger in a light socket, and they curl towards the nose. Those are rex whiskers and if you look, they have "old man" eyebrows. They're cute, but they're rex.

nope... definitely rex babies! here's my litter from awhile ago...

YAHOO!!! Now I have some non hairless breeders. If I bred them to the hairless male, what would I get? The babies are 1.2 sex

You would get hairless, rex and some normal babies that carry hairless(as your babies right now carry hairless).

So if they carry hairless, they are still ok to breed?

REEEEAAALLY cute babies Jake..I love the wavy rex look. I love our ratties that are all smooth, but I like the look of the rexes from your pic. I think I'll start looking for a little rex furball to add to our ratty family. :)


Cong-rats. :giggle:

Are these rare? I've breed alot of babies and I've only seen two like the ones you have in the pic.

Nice Rex babies.

I have a male hairless that lives with a rex female.
Their litters are always like was said, some rex, some hairless and very few normals.
They are all cute though!!

Thanks Guys!! I hope to have some more cute babies like these in the future.

i don't think rex are rare... but then... i have a bunch :P

Only thing rare in my house is a live rodent. Frozen rats are more common in this house at least!!! lmao

I put some dog treats in a little bowl with water and got them to a mush, put it in the cage and the little black rat was the only baby to eat any so far. Just wanted to share that

wow rexes are quite adorable, i never thought of rats as cute. but those are

i refuse to feed a rex to a snake, simply too cute

lol I can't say that. If I came to believe they are all cute, I would have a shortage of food. I may even start to save the cute ones in my freezer!!!! lmao

lol Not a bad idea at all!!! Wish they would do that here too. Do you get like 1 for 1 or do they give you multiple frozen for a single live?
