Is she studying baldness genes in humans, or does she just think those things are cute? Not that I would disagree… I’ve always thought sphinx cats are pretty. A sphinx cat playing with a bald mouse would be awesome.

A hairless Chinese crested dog playign with a sphynx cat playing with a hairless mouse would be awesome. Double awesome if we can get Andre Agassi to play with the dog.

There are hairless guinea pigs too. I think they were originally bred because you can use them for dermatology research without having to hire a full time rodent shaver.

I had a hairless hamster I rescued from the pet store in my neighborhood. All the “normal” hamsters were picking on it and they had to separate her. My dad thought she was a rock at first (because of how she was curled up).
Smartest and sweetest little hamster I have ever met though.

Hairless hamster? It sounds like the other hamsters wouldn’t let her play any hamster games.
I used to work for a small biotech company in Berkeley, where they had a room full of caged nude mice. This breed of mice is used in biological research, particularly cancer research. They are conveniently hairless, but also are “athymic”: that is, they lack a thymus, which is an immune system organ. This prevents them from rejecting foreign tissue grafts, I think.
There was one of the scientists who was bald, wrinkled, and a bit portly. He looked a lot like the nude mice.
