Hairless Dumbos?!

[bad-one]

Noticed I had 4 that looked way different in my most recent litter of 11. Mom is a dumbo with unknown genetics. Dad is a dumbo poss. het hairless. All 4 of the suspected hairless have short curly wiskers and a tiny bit of hair.

Middle one is normal-


Outside ones are normal-


3 suspected hairless in front-


Let me know what you think

Yep, hairless. I've (personally) never seen a black hairless (all ours are pink) but I imagine they're possible.

Awesome, thanks! I got me some ugly, wrinkly rats

I wonder how much these guys sell for?

I actually have a hairless mini weenie dog....he was bred that way. And he's a dark brown

What coat types are the parents?

They look more like double rex patchworks to me?

Cute babies

Parents are normal coat types seen here:
Babies and parents from past litter

I thought double rex too but it is impossible... I've read that true hairless will grow baby fuzz but eventually lose it. I guess we'll have to see!

[snakesRkewl]

Well then unless they are just fuzzing up like normals I'd say they are recessive hairless and you proved out your unknown genetics.
You'll know after they molt(3-4 weeks old) if they are true hairless.
Very kewl, rat genetics are pretty crazy, lots of recessive stuff going on.

I will grab you guys some pictures of my hairless dumbo guy tomorrow. He's ALMOST at baby making age. He has some work ahead of him LOL.

I will get the picture up later, but this guy came from a dumbo x dumbo het breeding. I will have to assume that this is recessive hairless as no rex animals were present during breeding at any time.
