A dumbo rat is a fancy rat ;)
Dumbo's are just given the name because of their over-sized ears.
All fancy rats have the potiental to get along, but not all will, after all.
Be sure if you are going to introduce a new rat to take the rats to a neutral area (placing the new one in the cage is a recipe for disaster!).
A dumbo ratIS a fancy rat, so of course they can interbreed. The dumbo refers to the rats ears: a little larger and set further and flater on the rats head. The dumbos also tend to be larger, and, it is said, more placid. The other kind of ear position is called top ear, which is the traditional rat look. Both are, as I mentioned, fancy rats, a term that refers to all pet rats bred at home.
A dumbo rat is named for it's slightly larger, rounder ears. Other than their ears, Fancy rats and Dumbo rats are basically the exact same. The personalities differ from rat to rat regardless of appearance.
As long as there isn't a huge size difference, theyre the same gender and they get along - yes!
No, dumbo rats are much bigger than fancy rats. They are both very nice creatures though.
It depends on the pet store. They may if they sell both Dumbo, fancy and standard rats. They will likely put it in with the standard rats. This means it will likely be sold as a feeder.
Your Dumbo will be happy to eat the same as any other fancy rat. Lab blocks that are low in protein are great. Oxbow Regal Rat food is good, but some rats don't like the taste. My Dumbo gets fed Innova Senior Adult Dog Food, as it's natural and low in protein. She LOVES it! You Dumbo needs fresh veggies or fruit EVERY DAY. No citrus for males!
no
Dumbo rats aren't a different species, they just have lower and more sticky-out ears.
The same size as regular fancy rats, unless they're bred to be larger. I've heard of jumbo rats as well and I don't see why someone could not have a jumbo dumbo rat.
dumbo rasts are very cute and small so if you are looking for one cute and stays small a dumbo or fancy rat will work just fine Dumbo rats do not stay small, in fact they are usually slightly larger than regular fancy rats. There are dwarf rats that are about 1/2 to 3/4 the size of a normal rat, but they can be hard to find and often have health problems. All rats are cute, though, no matter what size they are!
they are bigger than most rats and have larger ears that are set lower on the head of a normal or fancy rat and have flatter heads. they are also believed to be calmer and more docile than other rats.

I would say and dwarf hamster any kind there cheaper and they wont chew the bars of your hamster cage they are really cute. but do not get two and try not to let them escape your hands. They are really fast runners that's why i got the teddy bear hamster because they come in cute colors and they don't bite as much and you can get more than one. =)
Blue, Hooded, Dumbo, and Rex.
