Identify this rat.

Can someone identify the color and ear type of this rat for me?

Thanks.

Looks like a dumbo. Will probably brown out as it gets older. Most of mine do.

His name is Jerome.

He's a blue dumbo.

Mine stay like that for their entire lives. The males do get some brown hairs, but they stay blue.

If you want absolutes, ask Connie, aka mylittleindiangirl. She's the best with this stuff.

That's definitely a Blue Dumbo. I just had a Mama Blue birth a litter of these this past week. Not all of them are completely blue though. I have some Blue Rex's as well!

Nice looking rat!

my rats ears look similar, they don't look as dumboed out as some in the stores or pictures online, but compared to his regular eared buddy they are significantly different. theyre easier to tell in real life:

squeeee I love dumbos :D :D

Could be a Blue/Blue Agouti/ or straight up Agouti coat, hard to tell from the pictures. Definitely a dumbo, good luck with that one!! Looks like a keeper to me!

I just wanted a second opinion in case I went straight up retarded for a moment. I have been a HUGE debate with some shyster over on Fauna trying to sell blue dumbos for $50 each. Apparently, my Russian blue dumbos are "sewer rats" and his rats are "rare true blue co-dominant dumbos".

Its actually pretty funny. I'm having a good time with it LOL.

In the picture I saw on fauna they did look much browner than blue and not really like the guy in this picture.

But, he is a blue dumbo as far as I know.

50 bucks for a blue dumbo???? Dang, my snakes eat better then I do.....

lol @ sheisty fauna. hope he knows dumbos are recessive too, what a tard

That is exactly the point that I tried to make, and Fauna is letting him sell rats that don't exist. Co-dominant dumbos? Umm...I've never seen one. I've never seen one on the internet. Never seen one in person. Never heard of the legend of one in the mountains of South America. It straight up, does not, EXIST! End of story. Fauna apparently is cool with it though.

Lol so maybe I should go in on selling purple footed ball pythons on fauna then ill say they are a super duper dom. Its better than a dom. Co dom. Or recessive. Umm ill sell em for like 5000k or 1m a pair ;)

Just shows that some people are complete morons and that some don't care who they are ripping off!!

LMAO. I heard that you don't even need to breed the super duper doms. You just put them in the cage with your normals and the super duper dom changes their DNA and they become the co-dom form of the morph LOL.

I still say those look like agouti's Tom, lol.
I have 10 chances at agouti american blues from my agouti het blue female and blue male, hopefully I get a couple agouti blues.
My american blues are so much lighter than the russian blue it's a trip.
My biggest boy blue :)

You guys do realize, don't you, that fauna itself is not the arbiter of right, wrong, accurate or just plain lies.

That lies with the members.

You know, you guys who are complaining that they, the members, don't know what they're doing.

heh
