Fuzzoodle

I got a yearling corn from a friend of mine recently, and she seems to have an aversion to fur. She weighs 46g currently, and was given to me because previous owner was having a hard time switching her to fuzzies. I've had her for a few weeks now. The first week she settled in, then ate a rat pink for me. Next week offered a mouse fuzzy, she wouldn't touch it. A few days later offered a rat pink, she ate it right out of my hand, and she's blue to boot!
So now I'm looking into breeding hairless rats, and was wondering if anyone here does? Are they any harder to breed than regular ones? A couple sites say females have lactation problems, true or false?
If they do have lactating problems, what would be the best way to go about having a breeding trio? If I get a hairless male and breed him to a regular female, then keep two female babies from the litter and breed back to the male, there should be hairless babies right?
Do they need to be kept warmer than others? Our regular rats are in our basement now, and they have been doing well down there but it can get a little chilly during cooler weather.
Any and all info is greatly appreciated!
