Rats are highly omnivorous; they will eat nearly anything. Fruit, grain, vegetables. meat, you name it.

Dumbo rats aren't a different species, they just have lower and more sticky-out ears.
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 are much bigger than fancy rats. They are both very nice creatures though.

Yes they can, they will like it. Rats can eat about everything

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!).
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.
Same way you care for a normal rat. Lots of research into diet, housing, husbandry & handling.
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!
