I have to say, I've never heard of rats without tails until today.
I am learning a ton...

BP owner since Oct 2008, so yeah, I'm no expert.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

Re: FINALLY!!!! Manx Babies!!!
I'm just happy that the line didn't end LOL. I will be breeding the het mom that made these two back to the manx male and HOPEFULLY I will produce some males in the next batch. I will also be breeding the het sisters of these manx back to the manx male to see what happens.
Hopefully I will be making some more soon. You know that I won't be giving up LOL.
Blue, rex, dumbo, manx babies are still the eventual plan LOL.

Why can't they live normally without a tail? They eat, drink, pee, poop, do it...just like all my other rats. There is no disadvantage in not having a tail in captivity. So, to respond to your statement...they live normal.
Poorly bred manx rats can have spinal deformities and fused pelvis and all sorts of nasty stuff wrong with them. Then again, so can any other rat that is indescriminately inbred for generations and generations.
I take pride in producing healthy manx rats. If I didn't care about their health I'm sure that I would have produced 100 of them by now, but I haven't. I have produced two.
You're entitled to your opinion, but all of my rats "live normal".

How do you pick them up if they don't have tails?
Evolution kept them for a reason!
Really though congrats, those are so cute!

You just scoop 'em up LOL. None of my rats have that bite first personality.
