All of your rats are so pretty! I'm a dork, but, why did your efer to Scooter as "naked"? He looks like he has fur to me! And, I was told not to put furry rats with hairless rats (something about them scratching the hairless ones, not knowing to be gentler). Wrinkles looks fine, though! It's just that if I were to get another rat while Luli is still with me, I'd want to get a furry one....Anyway, I'd like to know! Again, your rats are all beautiful!

Thanks!

He's a naked boy. He is a double rex meaning that in just a few days he will be completely bald, and then he will grow the fur back. This line is double rex's tend to stay hairless most of the time though. He is already losing his fur now and the top of his body is pretty bald already.

As far as hairless rats with furred rats, I have always kept hairless rats with furred rats. If you have rats with good genetics you won't have rats that fight, therefor no need to worry about scratches. I prefer my naked ones to be with furred rats as they have someone to snuggle up with to keep warm.

So Wrinkles is a true hairless while Scooter is a double rex/patchwork hairless.
