Tailless rats may be shown in any recognized color, marking, or variety.
The distinct feature is the complete absence of a tail. Tailless rats may have a cobbier body and will have a rounded rump.
Disqualifications: a small tail appendage or tail formation at the base of the body; any evidence of physical abnormality
due to being Tailless, e.g. difficulty walking or climbing, skeletal problems, etc.
Breeders Now-a-days though have been working hard to limit these "deformities"
so that we have healthy happy "normal" ratties.
I have been Breeding Manx rats here since 2005 when I first Imported
them from OFR *Odd Fellows Rattery* I have since Exported and Imported new tailless lines to help other breeders
such as myself to keep the deformaties at a minimum. I have yet to have any unsound manx rats born here. all have been show
quality tailless butts. ^__^
