Excuse my ignorance, but can you breed a fancy Dumbo rat with a run of the mill white lab rat?
I cant imagine you wouldnt be able to but I want to make sure before I dish out $15 for a dumbo male. I figure itll make stronger healthier babies with some neat patterns. (eye candy for my snakes? lol)

well im not sure about this one lmao but maybe someone here shall be able to help you. there are very smart people here just gotta wait some time lol. but IMO i would think you can since there just rats lol but not if there different sizes by great difference if ya get what i mean. maybe even has to do with species im not sure. im not that smart when it comes to rats so maybe someone will get to this thread
Rattus norvegicus is the standard Rat that you will find from Pet Stores.. or even from Rat Fanciers. :P
There are some Rat breeders out there that also have Rattus rattus. But it is a lot less common. They look different.. Have less litters per year.. and also have a REALLY long tail in comparison to the norvegicus..
