    While they are pinks, no. Sometimes when they are crawlers, the hairless will loose more sparsely furred. Usually I have to wait until they are big enough to be roaming about. Before weaning though.

    My hairless (popped up unexpectedly) had sparser, shorter hair than the others... I guess you'd say at fuzzy size. Their hair felt coarser too. When they got a little older, they lost what little hair they had.

    Re: Hairless rats

    Look at the whiskers, hairless rats have curled whiskers. I hope you get what you are looking for out of your litter!
    I do not own snakes (though I have before) I am here to help with rat related questions.

    Re: Hairless rats

    Is there a reason you bred het to het? From what ive seen haiess rats are not very expensive. So were you trying to get more than hairless?
    Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

    Hairless females are known to have lactation problems in many lines, so the OP may have been trying to avoid that.
