I'm not as familiar with rat genetics as gerbil genetics, but I do know a small bit.

Oooh, very cool. If my male throws rexs I won't feel guilty in the slightest about feeding off this hairless. She's mean to the other rats (surprised she bred at all) bites humans and ate 4 of her babies (she originally had 13 not 9) My other rats are great through. At least 2 are willing to surrogate.
