I think thats caused by inbreeding. When you breed brothers and sisters or mothers and dauters and vice versa you can get some hairless mice. LOL. Anyways i don't think its a new breed but i've never seen them with just hair on their head and tail and feet. Looks cool though.

No Linds, It's not made in photoshop. Those photos are linked to my site (if you take a closer look)
I finaly manage to convince myself too, that i didn't open the photoshop when i was...drunk!
They are real. Their parents were common iRC mice
Oh, they are second generation breed (brothers and siters).
But i will wait till they are ready to breed and i will see if they are realy a goldmine!

There are completely hairless mice and also ones with no tails, but I must admit I've never seen any quite like that. There is alot of mixing and matching of mice these days so anything is possible. When you buy live feeders you can never tell what they might be het for.
I hate getting those tailess ones... there's no handle. LOL
You better make sweaters for those guys, so they don't catch colds

Just a thought, there are "hairless" guinae pigs with hair only on the head and feet. So it's certainly possible.

Hrmmm... that's odd. They look like they have undeveloped bodies, exactly like pinkies, but with adult heads and limbs, and some of the limbs are blurred while the other parts are not, as well as it blurs where they join. You should be able to see some definition of the body and certainly not see all the organs through them at that age

Wow insane. They look weird.

CHRISANDBOIDS14 hairless mice are an actual strain. Also, almost EVERY mouse you purchase is inbred. Even breeding mice from two or three pet shops won't ensure they are not related. I have bred brothers to mothers, brothers to sisters and fathers to daughters and I have never gotten "hairless" mice because of inbreeding.

I'm with Linds. Look at the last photo and how big the mouse's foot is compared to the rest of the body. I've never seen a mouse whose foot is equal to 1/3 the body length.
