I LOVE when dumbo eared rats perk their ears. Just is the darndest cutest thing!
Surprisingly, I've only ever had one standard-eared rat and I miss his expressions with them. Love my dumbo boys, but I love the standard-eared just as much. I might just be biased as well because it was my heart rat who had them.


Haha I have more non blurred photos. I just didn’t want to flood the forum lol. It took some patience to take them lol
Thanks
I usually just bribe mine with treats to get them to sit still for pictures lol.

Thank , I’ll try the treats too lol
A question.. and apologies for my ignorance lol are my rats dumbo rats? Sorry, I’m new at this lol. It’s probably a very silly question lol
 
Dumbo-eared rats typically have their ears further down on either side of their heads and they're very... radar-disc like. To my knowledge, ears don't make a difference other than how they look or act.

The picture I'm attaching is of my two boys with their dumbo ears.
Personally, I think every rat is adorable and dumbo-eared just makes them all the more adorable. I generally pick out (if I have to go to a breeder) a rat based on their reaction to me. Adopting/rescuing is another story.

EDIT: my boys were maybe six-ish months old in that photo. Those two are going to be hitting their second birthdays real soon.

Thanks,

Your boys are sooo cute :)! I agree with you, all rats are cute! I always thought they were beautiful and never understood that look of disgust on people’s faces. I was just curious because quite frankly I wasn’t aware of the various differences between types of rats lol I thought my boys were normal sized ears lol bad I know :p
 
Aww, thank you. They have a tendency of stealing hearts, just all rats seem to specialize in.
I'm not super hung up on what type or color a rat is, but I just like to know.
