Bald and double rex are two completely different genes. So which is it?

Ok... Then why are you charging so much? I don't mean to sound cheeky, but it seems like an awful lot for double rex rats... Maybe it's just me. Usually actual hairless rats are about £15.

I paid quite a bit for the adults from a top breeder of rats & ball pythons, and the babies i reduced in price when selling them compared to the price of the parents i paid.

the prices are very adequate.

It depends on whereabouts you are as to how much you will pay.

I can get 'bald', true hairless, rats at a lot cheaper than anyone I know where I am and they're just down the road.
These are born bald and never grow any hair. As far as I know double rex grow hair and than lose it again over a few moults. So therefore 'bald' and 'double rex' are in fact totally different genes.
Double rex are like rocky horses doodoo so I have to travel to get any. Therefore it works out expensive.
Same as anything else an item is worth whatever someone is willing to pay. I would rather pay more to buy locally than travel for a cheaper priced animal.
Good luck in seeling your rats. If I were closer I would have had some when you first advertised them. I see nothing wrong in the prices you are asking.
