I have 17, five-week old dumbo rats available. They are for pets and not for food. I prefer (actually they are my moms) to sell them in same sex pairs. There are 9 females and 8 males. One female is all black with white feet, a white tip on her tail, and a white design on her belly. Two of the females look like Siamese. Several appear lilac, or purple, and the rest are beige. Most of them are rex. There are 3 males with black and white markings. One has smooth hair and the other two are rex. All the others are beige, beige and white, and one is lilac. They are handled daily and love people. They were also separated from the parents at 4 weeks old into same sex cages. The girls are living with just their litter mates, but the boys live with our three, 2 month old males. They are actually from two combined litters. We bought the moms and their one day old babies from a breeder (who I don't think knew what she was doing). Both moms took turns caring for the large litter. One mom is hairless and the other is white and black. Unfortunately, I do not know the fathers. I don't think the hairless was handled much, but she isn't mean. She is only just now starting to play. The white and black one has an excellent temperament, so I hope that passes on to the babies. Both parents have shown signs of great intelligence, which I also hope the babies have. We started handling the babies at day one (we didn't handle them for very long at such a young age, though) so they knew human scent when they opened their eyes. We have a separate room for them to play in (with supervision), where they can climb and scamper about. The room is also rat proof. It is great stimulation for them. We have a litter box in the room with them to encourage litter training, but they don't stay in it long enough to use it! They love the fun in the playroom , but always remember their human companions. They come over and crawl all over us. They hate to have to go back into their cages. One female even started crying when she realized she was going back into her cage! We thought something was wrong with her at first, because we've never had a rat do that before.
I can send pictures via email. I can't promise excellent photos, since they move so fast that half the time the picture is a blur.
