"Looking for genetic advice to develop a Satin Rex & Manx line in a country with limited breeder knowledge."
Hi everyone, I have this beautiful doe with a confirmed Satin Rex (Velveteen Satin) coat type. Her fur is incredibly plush, silky, and has a strong reflective metallic shine, with beautifully curled whiskers.
Unfortunately, the fancy rat community in my country is strictly commercial and lacks basic genetic knowledge (local shops gaslight me, saying she's just a regular Rex molting).
I genuinely want to preserve and develop her line properly. My long-term goal is to breed healthy Satin Rex and potentially incorporate Manx (tailless) genes into the line correctly according to proper breeding ethics.
Could any experienced genetic breeders here guide me on:

Now we start on the next batch, this lad is darker than the previous babies, and about a cm bigger 🥰

Still adorable grabbies to report!
