[Wanted] looking to buy hairless(naked) mice, with white skin

I'm looking to buy hairless(naked) mice, with white skin. Any help would be appreciated.

All the best,

Have you had any luck?.....I'm looking for hairless mice myself!

Not in the least StinaUIUC...This is frustrating that hairless mice would be so difficult to find. But I will inform you of my source if and when i find a breeder. Thanks for asking.

Thank you! I know a couple other people looking as well! We're not even looking for them as feeders...we want them as pets and to breed....but its seems like no one has them anymore!

I don’t keep animals for whom I’d have to feed other animals too.

I will most likely have some hairless mice for sale at the next Hamburg PA reptile show, feb. 26, 2011 http://www.hamburgreptileshow.com/

These are out of a line of rex mice, they have a "double dose" of the rex gene and are essentially hairless like a hairless rat. They are not the "rhino" hairless variety, I used to have those but as they age they get so gross and wrinkled to the point they can't eat or move right. These do not have that problem!

Thanks dzoo for your post and the pictures are great. How many do you have, how much do you want for them and how do a receive them?

dzoo...those aren't hairless. Those are fuzzy hairless and it is not like double rex rats. Rex in mice is a simple dominant gene and heterozygous and homozygous rex are both identical with way coats as adults. Fuzzy is a recessive gene requiring 2 copies of the gene to produce a fuzzy mouse...fuzzy mice have a coat like the soft side of velcro. Fuzzy is very variable and can produce a very thin (almost hairless) coat or a thick coat. Fuzzy hairless can be just the fuzzy gene, or a combination of fuzzy and rex.

...sorry I misread the fuzzy hairless post....it's not like double rex or true hairless in rats. Hairless in mice and rats is the same gene (recessive hr) and normally produces an essentially completely hairless animal with no skin pigment...they may or may not have whiskers as adults. They grow hair normally and then lose it as they grow.
