But then, they ARE related, so perhaps it's just the family line, not the ears. Hmmm.
It's all about the genetics, there is some very well bred top eared ratty's out there.
Because dumbo rats have been bred more for pets than feeders more of them percentage wise might be tamer, but it's really a case by case situation.
I've had top eared breeders that were amazingly tame and friendly.
