Hi Deb:
This is not really a very relevant response but as a child, I caught a completely
hairless adult Deer Mouse. It was most likely a spontaneous mutation rather than a
diseased animal as it survived all summer and acted just like the rest of my captives
[about 4 altogether]
On the otherhand, I've seen the hairless Cavies/Guinea Pigs in pet stores. Apparently,
they require careful cage temperature control, etc.
