Hi guys I rescued these three babies
And about a week ago they started losing hair! Well the two Rex ones mainly
I changed the bedding I was using and it’s been 5 days and still no improvement
What could this bewhat do i do I feel so bad!
it seems to mainly be my lighter baby, but both Rex have hair loss. Our hooded girl doesn't have any issues
I’m also pretty sure now I have all girls lol
No balls!

Looks like all girls to me, and don't worry about it, we call them patch work rats, I have one too.! They might go fully naked when they get older but for now just enjoy the fuzz
 
Wait lol it’s normal to lose there hair? Looks awful! is it a rex thing?
And yea all girls. I seriously was told they were all boys at one point lol I got all girls which is convenient I don’t have to spay or Nueter 🤗
 
Heh not all rexs become patch works but it seems like you got lucky.!
 
A true patchwork has ever changing coats as fur falls out and grows back in.

A rex often has more sparse coat but some might be double rex and you may end up with some nakie rats :)
