    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Does anyone know of a reputable breeder for fancy mice? I'm specifically interested in a hairless (nude) mouse and/or a hairless mouse with a bit of fuzz still (rex I think it's called?) I used to have a hairless rat year ago but he passed away and I really miss having him around and a mouse is just as cute but a bit smaller and easier for me. Any help is appreciated.
 
I breed fancy mice and rats and I would be happy to help you out. :)

1) True hairless mice (aka rhino) are lacking a thymus and thus have a myriad of immuno deficiency concerns that cause them to have (and spread) all sorts of fun diseases. I am working with a lab-strain of hairless mouse now to see what I can do with them, but I am pretty far off from any real results.

2) A "fuzzy" hairless is sometimes confused with a true hairless mouse because it's fur is so short and so fine that it's barely there. The best ones have a sort of peach fuzz about them and are essentially naked, but have no health concerns or issues.
His fuzzy hair is barely there! :)

3) Rex/Double Rex causes curly/wavy fur. A single dose causes a "perm" and a double dose causes a "burnt out" look with bald patches (sometimes). Double rex is more like patterned baldness, and isn't really considered a desirable trait.

Thanks for the reply Rachel. It was actually partially because of your photos of this lil guy on your Facebook that I wanted to get another hairless rodent. I actually went and got a hairless rat yesterday that I had ordered from a local place. I love this little girl. Here she is:

Thank you but I decided to go ahead and get the rats instead. Couldn't be happier!
 
I got her from a guy at my job. There's a bunch on pet finder now in need of rescue. I'm in the process of trying to rescue one
