How are dumbo rats different from normal rats - are they kinder or just look different?
Dumbo rats are just the same as normal rats, its just their ears look different. They're personalities in no way differ from rats with conventional ears. Though all rats have different personalities, no matter if they are a dumbo or not. Some are playful, some are grumpy and some are sweet natured. I have three rats, one is a dumbo and two are not, and they are all different from each other! So no, Dumbo rats just look different in that their ears are larger and don't stand up as much as normal eared rats. Its up to you to decide if they are cuter or not!

What other traits are rat breeders looking for in dumbo rats?
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.
