Is it true that dumbo rats are friendlier/calmer/sweeter than standard eared rats?
This is a bit of a loaded question! The majority of dumbo rats come from breeders who have bred selectively for good temperament. Even the ones from pet stores are probably not more than a few generations removed from a breeder. The average standard eared rat you’d find at a pet shop may have had no human contact throughout its life, and may not have been bred with any consideration for temperament for years, so the odds of finding a skittish standard eared rat from a pet store are unfortunately high. However, my rats of both ear types are very carefully bred. I will not breed a skittish or aggressive rat, regardless of how cute it is! So I really feel that there is no difference between the personalities of my standard eared and dumbo rats. I often have litters with both dumbo and standard eared rats, and since they all come from the same parents the personalities will depend not on the earset, but on the individual rat. Sometimes a dumbo will be calmer as an adult, but just as often
