Whats Ear then? Tulips

Dumbo Ears - Open Tulip Ears. These ears are being favoured by more dumbo breeders at the moment. They appear pointed but if you gently press a finger to the back of the ear, you can see that the ears will be perfectly rounded as per the ‘open ears’ above. The ear is slightly furled at the top and usually indicates the ears are in the right position on the rat’s head. The two most common faults on a dumbo rat with this type of ear is the head being too long and narrow, and the ears being too narrow and pointed and tubular rather than rounded. We are proposing to change the standard to fit this ear type in the future."
