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.
no their bigger
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!).
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.
no
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!
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!
