    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I'm not a BS'er LOL. I have LOTS of blue dumbos

When you say co-dom trait(incomplete Dominate) that infers that there is a super form.
I'm confused Tom, I've never seen and never heard of a super form of dumbo ears :shrug01:
Isn't it possible that the female top ears you use are also hets even if you didn't produce them?

Since dumbos have been around for years and years there is hets all over the place that people have no clue they are hets, Isn't it possible that the female top ears you use are also hets even if you didn't produce them?
 
Yep; that's what it is Jerry.. Thank you so much for simplifying it for me.. I had no clue what I had since I just stated doing this a week ago........

Do mammal genetics operate the same as reptiles??
 
Well thought Id add my 2 cents. Im gonna get a rat from tom in the next couple weeks and ill prove it one way or the other. Also thought Id show everyone my adult Blue Manx Breeder.

I don't claim to know all about genetics but as far as I know rats genetics are either recessive or Dominate although there may be some co-dom traits ears aren't one.

Dumbos since the beginning have been recessive and if it was a co-dom trait there should be a super form...Hence my questioning and asking for proof of such.
Making more dumbos from a top eared rat doesn't prove anything as many many top eared rats carry the recessive dumbo ear trait.

How will you know you proved it out, I've still not seen what the super form of dumbo ears looks like, have you?

Not trying to be smart here but proof is what we use to show people that we have proven a trait out, not word of mouth or "witnesses".
 
Potatoe; potatoo?? Go figure then?? Once again Jerry; the super form is a solid litter of dumbos and some have super low sets.. 'Tis all.. No matter what I cross my dumbos with; pow; a few dumbos in every litter; is everything out there a het?? Snake genetics are dissimilar to mammalians..

Yes many top eared rats carry dumbo genes to answer that question, especially colored rats like blue and Siamese and other colors too.

You haven't proven your rat to be anything other than a recessive trait because you have no idea if your females carry the dumbo gene.

Have a good week and keep producing those killer snakes Tom...
 
Thanx Jerry.. I totally understand your disbelief.. Trust me.. I utterly guarantee my statement's; as lame as it is over ratties; but this is already proven out here and has been for ten year's.. Ripley's believe it or not.. Lol.. I wish I could slip you some of these kids.. It is impossible all my rats are hets.. Impossible.. Anything I cross to a dumbo pops dumbies.. Promise.. Brian and his son Tyler will help us with this starting soon... I'm moving this week and I will get them some to test here shortly.. It seems like a never ending story to me though; unless you prove it??

Because if i breed it to my non dumbo females and get a dumbo thats proof period. Since I have never gotten a dumbo out of those girls EVER.
