There so cute! I have 4 regular ratties. A boy (Jona) and a girl (Oli) then they had babies (18 of them) I kept 2 of the boys (Eirik and Cazper) I love them! BEST PETS EVER! I love the way Dumbo rats look! i want one! :) I love there ears haha
Does anyone have a rat that needs a home? My family are starting a rat rescue thing, but besides that i am looking for a new family pet. Well if anyone comes across a rat that needs a home old, young, pregnate, baby, fuzzies, pinkies....any kind hairless, hooded, dumbo, anything, please contact me at destinymassey33658@gmail.com and please send photos.. byebye people
They're 3 and a 1/2 weeks old, this would have been the mums nesting cage where she would have been separated from the rest of the group to be on her own and have the kits. nesting cages are small otherwise the tiny babies could fall or get separated from the mum and die, they stay in small cages till about 5-6 weeks, then they get sold and sorted into bigger cages. the breeder is doing the right thing and it's only temporary.
How about don't breed? there are heaps of rats out there needing homes, what would you do with 20+ pups, how would you feel if you know someone brought them and didn't care for them and it's your fault for bringing them into this world where they aren't happy.
You must have missed the part where i discouraged "backyard breeding". I got the mother not realizing she was pregnant. But thanks anyway for the criticism.
Its okay, people just come on Youtube to bitch about things they have no control over so it seems like they are doing something productive. Its all just a big delusion.
I have 2 dumbo girls, and I really want to breed at least one them when they are old enough. But I can't find a male dumbo stud kinda thing. And I don't have another cage. And also I have a non-breeding contract from the breeder I bought them from. What should I do?
I have two answers, but I can only leave a short message here so I will message you the entire thing. The first is to take proper steps to become a certified breeder, don't backyard breed. The second is that you signed a contract. Stick to your word and honor it. Don't breed them.
dumbo rats are actually the result of a cranial deformity rather than a 'type' of rat. Dumbo rats can have problems because the deformity can effect their hearing and breathing...it would be like if someone was breeding humans and they liked the club foot or cleft lip/palate look so only bred humans that had that defect to get more and more humans with club foot or cleft lip/palate
Dumbo rats are the result of a genetic mutation that has just been passed on through breeding. There are really not too many health risks. Its the exact same thing as breeding dogs to have certain features like pug noses and floppy ears.
yes, you are right. and just like pug nosed dogs can have breathing problems and floppy eared dogs can have increased liklihood of ear infection then dumbo rats can have hearing and breathing problems - as research shows. This does not deter people from having these types of animals as it does increase their 'cuteness' appeal for some pet owners
I like the cuteness of dumbo eared rats. We dont have them in Aust, and if we did Id think twice anyway due to certain problem characteristics involved
how about...dont breed them! there are enough homeless rats in the world, im sick of people breeding them just cuz they feel like it, not because they actually have any kind of understanding of breeding or genetics
