I'm confused, I've made almost 200 liters and I know the odds, as far as I know it's no different than breeding snakes when it comes to recessive, co-dom and Dom traits.
I'm no genetics wizard, but when a trait makes a homozygous form how can it be considered a dominate trait?
From AFRMA:
When breeding Rex, it is not advised that two Rex rats be bred together. When a baby rat gets Rex from both its mother and father, its coat leaves a lot to be desired. Typically these “homozygous” Rex rats range from nearly hairless to haired with a very thin patchy coat. These rats, though often very sweet, can best be described as mangy looking. They are certainly not particularly attractive.
In the same paragraph they say it's a Dom trait and then say it has a homozygous form, what's up with that?
