Pet Project: Dumbo Rats

[EverEvolvingExotics]

I picked up these two males today. I'm planning on starting up a small colony of fancy rats. I'd like to get some rex females within the next couple months as well as some blues. Out of all the rats I had to choose from these two stood out the most. I believe one is a just weaned siamese dumbo and the other I was told was a silky black dumbo. I'm still learning...

Once we got them home we gave them a bath.

Here they are all dried off.

Awwwww they're adorable! Dumbos are my favorite!

Have you looked into fancy rat shows? You can check out http://www.afrma.org/ for lots of info. I used to show hamsters and gerbils when I was in middle school 4-H clubs - it was a TON of fun!!

Thank you, I'll have to look into it.
