Hairless baby???

[Muskrat24]

Is this signs of a hairless or a skin condition? I had a litter of rats 3 weeks ago and 4 were born and one of them is now loosing fur. It had all its fur at first but in the past 4-5 days its lost almost half of it. There is also no sign of a skin condition, no scratching, itching, or anything.

We breed our rats...... Hairless, dumbo and feeders.

This is how our hairless look when young. This was with in the 1st couple weeks. We have some hairless by a haired mom who also has the hairless gen

Sounds like the parents carry hairless, especially if only a single baby is losing their hair, if it was mites or something it seems like you would see it on others in the colony. Unless the parents are rex then its a homozygous rex.

The mother is rex. Just got her and never seen the father so.

Sounds like its probably homozygous rex then.
