Are there Slick haired or Hairless Soft Furs?

[Fila]

I got 11 new ASFs a few days ago. When comparing them to the ones I have now, their coats are very different. They are almost regular mouse smooth. Someone told me they looked like Gerboas, but they do not. I have one that is almost hairless. All are very healthy and parasite free...

They are likely molting.


As of now, there is no known gene for hairless ASFs. There do seem to be 2 or 3 variations of the standard coat though. There seems to be 'greasy' 'standard' 'long haired' and 'smooth. . . to an extent. But I have no proof that any of these variations is it's own gene.

These are definitely smooth, and different ages. One looks like an anteater pink and very little hair at all.

Anteater pink, that's a new term for me, lol.

I have had one molt half way bald, then eventually grow back all of it's hair. The likelihood is that they're molting or have an allergy. Photos would help.

The guy I got them from feeds natures lab block, RO water, and has lots of toys and so forth for them. They are very tame. There ears seem longer then my others. I do hope to get picture soon, but they could very well be molting with the weather change for sure.

The ears may look longer because none of them are hidden in the hair. As a groomer, I can tell you how surprisingly it can be to see the whole of an ear when it's normally partially buried in fur.

I want to see the anteater asf too! Pics!!
