Abstract:
The soft-furred rat, Millardia meltada, has bred successfully in the laboratory for 10 generations of brother x sister mating. It is half way in size between the rat and the mouse, and is gentle and easy to handle. Thin body hair and incisor teeth are present in the newborn. Some individuals have low blood pressure. Chromosome number (2n) is 50. It differs in several characteristics from the rat and mouse, and could become a useful experimental animal in biomedical research.
