Manx rats are a rat that has the no tail or a very short one. They are BORN like this. Their tails should NEVER be docked. Here are 3 does born here at my rattery. They have full mobility and the black manx rex doe is the dame to the Havana rex (light brown) manx doe. The mink doe is out of 2 tailed (carrier of the manx gene) parents. It's not an easy gene to get as it's a "complicated" recessive gene. Meaning that there has to at least 3 more manx genes in the off springs pedigree to get this mutation. Sometimes more. There are only a few born in each litter. When selecting a breeding pair of manx to pair, I make sure BOTH parents are healthy and of sound mind and body before placing them together. I wait until at least 6 months to breed, but I typically bred at 11-12 months of age. This way I know they are healthy and no issues have appeared like leaking urine or loss of rectal control and I know their temperament is sound. As you can see in the video they move quiet well and with no vices.
