Many rodents such as rats and mice are laboratory-bred hairless animals, deliberately bred so in order to facilitate various testing methods. If your rat is one of these, the hair will not grow back; it is a hairless breed. If your rat was born with hair and has lost it for some reason you will need to consult a vet, since its condition could lead to health problems for your pet.
