digitalemurTell me that if I can't keep up with cleaning up after the animals I have, I do NOT need another pair of rats.
Cuz ooooooh, this sounds appealing! Do not be put off by the apparent hairlessness. The poster has absolutely incorrect predictions of what those babies will come out as: half of them will be Rex coat, and half of them will be normal coat, none will be hairless and none will be double rex because hairless is recessive, and double rex requires two rex genes! Unless these loci are more complex than that, the Punnett square does not lie!
I am too much of a biology nerd for my own good, yes, yes.

Aww shit, except i think he's trying to chew his way out.

Date: 2008-12-03 11:27 pm (UTC)Part of the reason I want _more_ rats is because these rescues I have are an African species that is not sufficiently bred for tameness yet, because the American stock are all here as feeder animals. In Europe these guys are getting more popular. So I want a pair of Norway rats (the usual domestic species) because they're also smarter and tamer.
Dangit, he's demolishing the corral. Sneaky little bastard.
