Re: Hairless ASF's?
I had a litter from my blonde ASFs that look like that. I wouldn't worry about it. Like it was said, it'll fill in eventually.

Re: Hairless ASF's?
The guy I got my ASF from said his groups started throwing a bunch of hairless, so he tossed them all and started from scratch.

Re: Hairless ASF's?
I think it is a common genetic defect. I have one trio that produces the same. They look like all the rest in the beginning... then they start to look sickly..,.. don't grow as fast as the rest.... loose hair... and constantly sleep and scratch. To me it appears to be a skin disorder... and it happens in about 30% of their offspring.
It may be a result of OVER imbreeding. The reason I am guessing this is that my trio that produces this was my first trio... completely and totaly imbred without any new blood for years before I got them. Alll of my other trios are of fresh blood... and don't produce this problem.
Judging by their low weight, lethargic behavior, and overall appearence, I would say you need to feed them off, and don't let them breed. It is not a good thing.

Re: Hairless ASF's?
Side note.... while I have had non ablinos with thinner then usual hair, I have only seen this sickly appearance in albinos... Guess it is some kind of albino releated defect....
If you look really close in person, the reason they look SO "red" is that the skin is clearly irritated. It is like they have a serious rash from head to toe. If you look close enough it will turn your stomach....

Re: Hairless ASF's?
Yea, from what I've heard it is not a desireable trait and shouldn't be bred for.
