I have 2 guinea pigs and adore them. They are funny little critters, easy to contain in a room and not worry about them squeezing into the tiniest places and they make the best noises!! :D The only thing is I wish they could be litter trained *sigh* I've also had hamsters and mice and while I enjoyed them both (especially the mice!) I doubt I'd have anything except guinea pigs...if anything at all, but you never know.

Rats, hands down. =D
I've owned mice, guinea pigs, hamster, and most other small rodents, but none even compaire to the compainionship that my rats have given me.
So intelligent, sweet, loving. The one and only drawback is their lifespan, but those 2-3 short years they're with you are the best years ever.. because everyday of those years, they put a smile on your face.
I mean, how can walking in and finding all four boys piled ontop of eachother soundly asleep not make you smile? =)

(And yes, there is four rats there^^)
I could go on forever on how much rats mean to me, but I won't. Anyone who has talked about rats with me has heard it a million times.

I'm not really sure, I've never owned a bunch of rodents so I can';t really compare. I do think Guinea pigs are pretty cute though.

Chinchillas! I've had many different kinds of rodents and loved them all, but I think my chinchillas are my favorite. I remember the first time I saw a real chinchilla, I was in middle school. I fell in love with them and knew that one day I'd have one. Two and a half years ago I rescued 3 and they've given me so much joy. I love my little chin girls so much.

The only thing is I wish they could be litter trained one of my guinea pigs is litter trained lol but then he also lives with a litter trained rabbit..non of the pigs I have ever had that have not lived with my rabbit have been litter trained.

that said my favorite on that list is hands down, Gerbils. I have raised them since I was 8 years old, and I cant live without em around, currently I have one elderly boy, he is 6 years old, he is not looking so go anymore though, he's going blind and such..not thats its suprising, the average lifespan is like 3 years old.

We always had hamsters when we were growing up. My favorite was Raisins, my adorable little brown & white hamster. He ran off one night and we couldn't find hi for a week. Then one night we heard all these ghostly strange sounds coming from the upright piano - it was Raisins, running around inside it!

I have owned a hamster, guinea pig, a rabbit, and a bunch of mice before. I love mice, but I also love rats even though I haven't owned one.

I really like chinchillas, but I'm not sure whether they're rodents! For all I know they're lagomorphs, like rabbits or viscachas, or something else entirely. But whatever they are, I like them!

ferrets are not rodents. They are a carnivore.
