Can you put a female dumbo rat with a female blue rat in the same cage?

Ive been wanting two rats but i want them to be different breeds.Why?No clue.Any help will be greatly appreciated.Thank you.Can you put a female dumbo rat with a female blue rat in the same cage?
They're not different breeds, they're both the same breed - rats. One has gray fur and one has dumbo ears - that's the only difference. Yes, if they get along, you can keep them together without any problems since they are same sex. You can also find a breeder who has both of these types of rats for you - or solve your problem and get 2 blue dumbo siblings and that way they came from the same breeder/litter and should get along fine. You are not going to find dumbos or blues in a big box pet store unless someone screwed up somewhere. Find a local rescue or shelter, or a good local breeder (you might need to get on a waiting list).Can you put a female dumbo rat with a female blue rat in the same cage?
I think that would be okay. I had 2 fancy mice and decided that it was time for another mouse. It was a different kind of mouse. (About twice the size of the fancy mice but not as big as a rat) They were a bit mean at first but after I kept an eye on them they got along. After that they were all best friends. Haha! :) Good Luck!

yes, but take them both in to neutral territory first, bed, floor, ect ect. just not the cage, let them get used to each other and then put them together. you can put any kind of rat with any kind of rat you want to. its just a matter of them getting along and getting to know each other in a non threatening manner
Yes, what mudd said. They're not different breeds, they're just have different markings.





And it'll be fine as long as you introduce them to each other slowly.





Or, get two from the same litter and you won't have any problems as long as they're the same sex.
