Necrotic Ooze and Nezumi Graverobber

How does Necrotic Ooze work when Nezumi Graverobber is in my graveyard?

The first unflipped ability works. If the condition also occurs when no cards are in an opponent's graveyard, Necrotic Ooze flips....but nothing really changes. Flipped cards only have their "flipped" abilities when they are on the battlefield. I'll dig up the rule that says so....EDIT: Found it.

709.1b - The bottom half of a flip card contains an alternative name, text box, type line, power, and toughness. These characteristics are used only if the permanent is on the battlefield and only if the permanent is flipped.
So you have a flipped Ooze that still has the same name, text box, type line, P/T, and I believe still has the first ability too (along with all of the other abilities it might have).

Yeah, I was curious about this too when discussing this with my friends, so I knew where to look.

If the Ooze has both ability, it would be awesome. Thanks for the quick answer.
