Can you house Hairless Rats with Hair rats?

Question

I was told that you cannot do this by Petland and then they told me they don't know that much about hairless rats!

Answer 1

Yes, you can house hairless rats with haired rats.  There's no problem.  Check out pics on goosemoose.com (rat section) and you'll frequently see hairless and haired rats together, living in harmony. :D

Hope that helps!

Answer 2

Yes you can. There is no difference between the 2. Thats like saying, "A blad guy cant live with a guy with hair" lol. Thats all I got but I house my 3 hairless with my 5 haired ones together. No problems!

Answer 3

Sure you can, in fact I've heard that it's preferable to have @ least 1 furry rat along with hairless rat(s).  The furred rats will help the hairless keep warm in cool weather.
