What can you tell me about them.. your experiences please..

Just been my pet shop and he said guess what we have coming in.... Lol I new it would be a small furry..lol But I was wrong it was small but hairless...

He said he is waiting for a litter of Hairless rats.. Should be with him in the next few weeks.. he said there lovely.. haha

My only knowledge is they were bred for labs for easier testing.. I could be wrong....

So any info good or bad would be appreciated..

I personally wouldn't have them myself as they need extra care with their skin, and they usually need a furry rat friend so they keep the hairless rat warm during the winter. Also, I've heard of someone trying to breed hairless but she came up with a lot of health problems in them, so decided to stop breeding them.

Hairless rats? Well, I did had the chance to take care of them. It was quite a challenge, since these little rodents need the extra warmth, so I had to place a lot of hairy rats with them to keep them warm all the time. The only disadvantage I have had with them is that my friends keep telling me that they are ugly. Too bad that they could not understand what a true pet means.

I have 3, soooooooooooooooooooo ugly they are cute.
you have to make sure they are kept warm because they loose body heat quicker than normal rats, also they have no eyelashes so can get sore eyes, I wipe my babies eyes every day to make sure no debris gets in them.

they are wonderful!

They are lovely! My friend who breeds ratties used to have two they were so cute, felt like stroking a bingo wing You could knit them a little coat to keep them warm in the winter!

I love hairless and would love to have one, but breeding a female hairless is filled with complications - they have trouble lactating...so pretty risky business. (I am agreeing with you btw lol that sentence sounded like I was correcting you! XD)
