"scruffy" mice
every once in a while I have a litter of mice that seems to be....scruffy, for lack of a better term. They seem to be missing a lot of hair. Some of the time they will come out of it and be fine but other times they will grow up to be adults and continue to be scruffy. I am not sure what is going on, has anyone else heard of or seen this?

Re: "scruffy" mice
this is off of a mice breeder site
FRIZZY (Also known as: Astrex, Rex, wirehair): To follow the standard coat type with the
following differences: To have dense, crimped hair over entire body. Guard hairs slightly
longer then the rest of the coat and somewhat rough in texture. Curly whiskers.
Genetics: a recessive gene, usually fr/fr but a dominant Re/- gene is more common in some areas.
Faults: coat uneven or too short. Coat in molt. Few guard hairs. Whiskers short, misaligned or thin. Coat is
more wavy than crimped.
Disqualifications: Coat or skin feels greasy or feels very dry. Missing whiskers or guard hairs. bald patches.
I'm guessing your mice are a form of this mutation but just a low quility feeder not a show mouse LOL.
Too many pets to list!

Re: "scruffy" mice
Had the same issue with the litters of my now passed away female albino mouse paired with my half satin male (longer hair than normal), the most of the babies looked like they lost a lot of hair and the remaining fur was very long... Genetics are crazy sometimes...
