    For those of you who have never seen a double rex or hairless rat, look here!

    I am going to post some pics here, Imagestation is being crappy so I will just attach the files.


    First here is a pic of my double rex rat Double the second, hehe. Contrary to what people believe they are not hairless, they do contain a small amount of fur which grows in and then falls out in patches, which is why some people refer to them a patchwork hairless. Double rex is the result of breeding Rex to Rex (curly haired rats with tight curly whiskers) and after breeding several generations of Double rex you eventually get hairless. There are also Double Velveteen rats as well. Velveteen being similar to Rex but much softer and missing more guard hairs.


    Here is Double the second!

    Double the First

    Here is a pic of my first double rex rat, Double. As you can see he has quite a bit of fur here, when he was a baby he was completely blad.

    He's kind of weird looking yet cute. I don't think I've ever seen a hairless rat before. He's cuter then I would have thought. The second rat is cute too, he looks like he would be really soft.

    A True Hairless Rat, totally different genetics than a Double rex

    As you can see this is a hairless rat (no fur at all) and not a double rex.

    I never used to like rats until I worked at Petco. We had accidentally gotten in a female rat with the males so we needed to keep her seperate. So we put her in a large tank with a screen on the top. Everynight she would escape, then in the morning when we opened the store and turned on the lights we would see her run around the store and go back to her cage and wait to be fed. It was so cute, she was my first rat love. Someday I'd like to get a rat, they are sweet.

    OMG! THEY ARE ADORABLE!!!!!!

    Hairless rats have also been on my lists of "rats I must have"! Ever since I saw one at the pet store being picked on by kids, I fell in love! They are so cute! I love their little punims (yiddish for face)! Give them a little kiss for me!

    Did you see the Hairless that was Pet of the Day a couple of days ago? I loved its little sweater.
