Double Rex a.k.a. "Mock Hairless" ~PICS~

[Linds]

Here upon request, are some pics of my silly looking "mock hairless" rat. I have two of these guys so far, but this female shows the trait best so far, the other is mostly just thinng alot still. Wonder how much they will actually lose? Only time will tell...

Lisa,
It's a genetics thing. These are resulting from rex x rex breeding resulting in double rex a.k.a. "mock hairless" rats. Nothing to worry about, just a lil strange lookin...lol :p

Morph,
Are they rex coated rats? If not then I would definitely worry about mites or allergies.

Pythonian,
LOL... yup, this post being quite old, the little guy pictured grew into a large rat and made for a good meal ;)
