Thankyou!
Hairless rats are prone to all sorts of health problems unfortunately. I'd never go to a breeder for hairless rats, just because its so irresponsible to breed them because of all the problems they do have.
They can't regulate their own body temperature very well at all, they are super prone to tumours and cancers, they have to eat a lot more because they can't keep weight on, they are very delicate in the sense that they have no fur to protect their skin, so often get cut and scratched easily. And to top all of that off, poor Draco also has a severe URI! So yes, they are very sickly, delicate animals, bless them.
