I have 11 baby rats that were born on Nov. 1, the dad is a true hairless and the mom is a hairless but with peachfuzz. How do I tell what babies are going to be hairless or other colors at that!? They hardly have whiskers so I cannot tell if the whiskers are curly or straight. They are mostly still bald with a tiny bit of peach fuzz.How do I tell the colors of what my baby rats are going to be?
If your rat kittens were born on November 1, they should have developed whatever fur they are going to have as adults by now. All rats are born hairless, but by around 10 days old they will be fully-furred unless, as appears to be the case with yours, they are going to be hairless adults, or they are sickly or not getting enough nutrition. Make sure you feed the mother as much as she can eat and has plenty of bedding for the kittens to snuggle up in. Congratulations on your 11 new additions to the family! Aren't rats great? :)
