so cassidy...the himi rex dumbo girly is the definite oddball. i have no idea HOW but she seems to be hairless. she's 7 weeks so starting to get her fuller coat...or lack there of. she's still fuzzy but she has that short fur feel and yeah. orion felt this way when i first got her too since she had peach fuzz still. it's just...strange. she only ( Read more... )

I responded to your myspace post since I was on that this morning. Hairless/ fuzzy. That's my best guess with the info you gave.

I didn't feel like going into random genetics crap on myspace, but she's definitely not double rex (mock hairless/patchwork hairless) since both parents would need to be rex for that to happen, and she'd have to end up with two dominant genes... as in the simple punnet square thing with the parents being Rr(odds for kids: 25% chance RR, 50% chance Rr, 25% chance rr), she'd have to be RR for double rex. She's most likely hairless due to a hairless gene somewhere in the mother's line, but since it's obviously not common in your lines it may have just been a fluke for whatever of the many freakish genetic reasons for alleles and crap switching on and off and suppressing shit and whatever the fuck...it's been too long since genetics. But definitely post a pic so I can see! ^_^

her whiskers don't look like rex whiskers....they're straight and are fairly close to her face. not as tight, maybe, as orion (the hairless) but still. i'll have to try to get a pic maybe tomorrow or later tonight!

So I don't feel like arguing a point on myspace since that seems to be what would happen and all I wanted to do was give you the info I know from other breeders. BUT the person that posted below me (although she/he sounds very knowledgeable) mentioned that having a rex rat with short curly whiskers and a few guard hairs. Now, not to be a jackass, but THAT is a what many rex/hairless breeders consider fuzzy hairless and she may just assume it's a normal rex because it has a rex parent without thinking about the possibility that the hairless gene is somewhere in there. A lot of people mistake the different hairless versions for rexes just because they do have some fur, but if you speak with some breeders that specialize in hairless and rexes (as in they've been doing it a long time) you'd see that there are multiple hairless genes with multiple ways of expresses themselves on the ratties...*breathes deep ( ... )

neither you OR ashley can talk about responsibility. i took one blow at someone who's been attacking me for no reason for the longest time. neither of you care about anyone but yourselves so shut up and leave me alone. i don't need you're crap and you're not high and mighty and you're not concerned. all you two want to do is ruin everyone else's lives. i'm a bad person because akira died overnight? what about ashley and the lice she couldn't afford to treat that killed off most of her rats? please, you both are joke
