Same way you care for a normal rat. Lots of research into diet, housing, husbandry & handling.
no
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.
Dumbo rats aren't a different species, they just have lower and more sticky-out ears.
No, dumbo rats are much bigger than fancy rats. They are both very nice creatures though.
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!).
Blue, Hooded, Dumbo, and Rex.
dwarf rabbit
That would be the feild mouse.
You are talking about his fur pattern. If you got him from the pet store, he is probably a Dumbo Rat. (They are not dumb! They are smart!). His fur pattern is called "Hooded". You have a hooded dumbo rat!
I would say remy is a dumbo rat, the rest are roof rats.Normal rat ears are top of their head, dumbo rats ears are on the side ''very spacial rats as i say"
With dumbo rats, their genetic mutation causes their desired floppy, side-set ears. Breeders have to be careful to watch for rats that have other deformities in their ears which can cause deafness or equilibrium trouble. When breeding dumbo rats, the inside folds of the ear should look the same as a typical rat, only turned further down the side of the head. If you plan to show your dumbo rats in competitions, the ears should be turned at least about 50 degrees from the original rat position, otherwise they are not considered to be a good representation of the dumbo breed.
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!
