Oh I forgot about that, lol!
Both sexes can be very sweet and loving. Rats who are handled since birth (such as my babies) are more socialable. There are many factors that go into what makes up a rats personality. Rats who are bred mainly for money have no consideration put into how they are going to act when they are older. Certain traits such as being mean and bitey can also be passed down, same as if the rat is very friendly. I only breed the friendliest rats, even if they are gorgouse rare colors they will not be bred if they have even an ounce of meanness in their body.
As for which sex is the sweetest, there is no comparison. Males tend to be less active and more apt to cuddle. Females are the same but they just have more energy and love to explore. My does are just as cuddly as my bucks, they just like to check things out a bit more. Also bucks are more territorial so some people prefer does over bucks, to avoid fights etc.
I love both sexes and would say both are equally amusing, loving and cuddly little guys.
Some people also think dumbos are more laid back, it's just the illusion caused by their ears. Because they are cuter, people automaticaly assume they are friendlier. Because they are handled more often (because people find them cuter) they tend to be more tame.
