Tailless are very hard to come by and very hard to breed. They are NOT for everyone that's for sure. They can overheat very easily because they don't have a tail, and that is how ratties sweat. yes I have oddeyes lol. It's just a white spotting gene, usually seen on high white rats such as blazes and split caps. Also tailless does cannot be bred due to possible birth complications. The mother can die. Inbreeding must be kept to a minimum because they can suffer birth defects such as spina befita, urinary and bowel troubles etc.


My rats sell pretty cheap compared to other breeders. Some regular ratties sell for as much as $35 dollars.


Have you studied genetics? I don't breed a litter unless I have a waiting list and almost all of my babies are sold before the litter is bred. How will you market your babies? I do not sell to petstores! My rats go to other breeders who I know, and who are experienced and to friends who I know and trust, or I keep themto furthur better my lines. Breeders mostly breed for themselves. Rat breeding cost a lot of money. I spend about 400 dollars a month on supplies. This does not include veterinary expenses. Just some things to think about before you start breeding. If you can't add anything to the fancy, you don't need to breed. I am very picky about who I breed.
