Heh! I want!! Fly over here please 
More mystery mice pictures
So I still haven't figured out for sure what these ugly little critters are, lol.
But here, have some pictures to amuse yourselves. :B
My two does, my buck, and their new litters of chubby little walruses, lol.
You can see where their hair has started falling out. The first doe has it the worst!
She's nearly half bald. Eventually, from my experience with these guys, they go completely bald at about 1 year of age. What weird critters!

Well, I doubt it's a virus. They breed 100% true.
Their parents were exactly like this, they're exactly like this, and I expect that their offspring will be the same.
When you cross them to other mice, you can get all sorts of odd coats. Including one mouse who was a FH until about 3 months old, at which point she grew in a full coat of REX fur. :shock:
These guys are something strange. . . :lol: :think

It really is! That's why they are MYSTERY MICE!
But also, they seem to randomly lose, and re-grow hair through out their lives. I'll have to keep track of these as they get older, and see if I can track their hair loss patterns.
There does seem to be a similar pattern in that a lot of them will lose a perfect circle of hair, right on top of their head (between the ears, like a monk! lol!), but other than that, it's pretty random as far as I can tell.

That sounds possible. Maybe after breaking the hair enough times, it just damages it enough that it doesn't grow back in?
The older does, almost always go 90% bald once they're older. The bucks seem to keep more fur, but it still disappears pretty well.

Aww, they are cute in a weirdish way
So you think they're just really ugly fuzzies Jack? :lol:
If they are, would they continue to produce the same hair patterns like this?
Even my uglier fuzzies, usually produce babies with slightly different hair.
And if they are fuzzies, could you explain why it might make sense that they will eventually lose their hair as they age?
I understand that molting can change the hair patterns, but would it really change them so drastically?
I love these ugly buggers, they're such a learning experience. :lol:

Why do you want hairless? It's so hard to breed correctly. Standard is whur it at.
I love different coats!
(I guess hairless isn't exactly a 'coat type' :lol: )
Hairless and angora (nice angora, which I'll be getting in November, FINALLY) are the only thing I don't have / haven't had, and they are my two favorites, along with FH.
