I have before, but no ratties for me at the moment. I love the rex, they're so cute, I can't wait to see the pics! Do you keep any for pets?

No Rexes here just hairless!
But I think the rex are so cute, there's justsomething about a curly haired animal.

I have one female dumbo rex named Avery. I plan on breeding her with my hairless (yes, he's a true hairless, not a double rex) and seeing what comes out! I'm breeding for health and temperament, but I'm curious to see what coat types we will have!

I have lots of rex rats and satin coats too. All my rats are now Dumbos even my Siamese blue points and siamese blue point hairless dumbos :-D
I just had 3 litters and they keep me busy but I am retired now and this is my full time hobby. I adore my rats and have had them for over 20 years :-D I am a rataholic giggle!

oohhhh! I always loved rats!, I had 6 of them at one time but they all got bumps and skin cancer- it was horrible! I've never seen such health problems develope in animals in such a short time. mine were mostly hooded rats, solid beige too. But if I ever get another I would like a rex rat or 2. But right now I'm up to my ears in guinea pigs so I have to cool it on the rodents for awhile. Good thing you live far from me since you breeding
