    Dumbos?!?

    Had my first litter of rats two and a half weeks ago. Thought it might be fun to get a dumbo into the mix, but haven't gotten around to getting one.

    My current litter is a pairing of two normal fancy rats from a local pet store. Neither of the parents were Dumbos, but I'm thinking they both must have been het for it.

    I think the two babies below are dubmos. Can anyone confirm or deny?!?

    Thanks for the confirmation. At this point it seemed pretty obvious, but I've never seen a dumbo in person. 2 out 10 babies. One male dumbo and one female dumbo. Too bad they're from the same litter. Maybe I should pickup another dumbo from a local breeder. =)

    There is a rattery a couple cities over that breeds blue dumbos. Might have to see about getting one to add to the mix.
