From experience, which have you tended to find have the most health problems? Hairless rats, or the regular furred rats?

Honestly, in my experience, there's no real difference in health between furred and naked rats. I've had perfectly healthy hairless/double rex rats that lived a good life, and I've had furred rats who haven't.

I'll agree, although I've found that my hairless are much more prone to 'rat acne' (as I call it) and eye infections than my hairy ones. Also they seem to get chest infections a little more than the hairy's. But, I've not had one so far that has had serious problems, aka tumours, inner ear infections, strokes, like my hairys have.

I just wondered if anyone had noticed anything similar. Must just be my odd bunch! Lol

My hairless is the healthiest. He also is the best weight too.

I think it's just coincidence really.
