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!
