hairless rat

Bald pet rodent

A hairless rat is a domestic rat bred to lack fur, kept as a pet or used in laboratory research.

Their exposed skin makes them useful for dermatological studies.

As pets, they require slightly warmer environments than their furry counterparts: Hairless rats need extra bedding to stay warm.
