What would be the best?

[Suki Wingy]

I think a hamster or a gerbil or a guinea pig is a good idea. Make sure she knows and wants it first though to avoid... you know. Most humane societies/shelters make everyone in the family be present when adopting any way. I would not suggest a chinchilla as a first pet. They can be difficult (never had one but knew one and did extensive research when I thought I would be able to get one.) If she can handle it, a rabbit may be good too. I would suggest a calm breed like a dutch.

Oh yeah, she knows because we've been talking about it for a while (and so do the parentals). I don't think she wants another hammie. It will probably be a gerbil or guinea pig because the previous experiences have been GREAT with them. A rabbit would be good but we would definitely have to take up the suggestion on a CALM one because the last one I had (we were living together) was NUTS towards anyone, and anything, but myself.

The last rabbit you had probly wasnt very socialized, and was there for scared of people. If you get one at a young age and socialize it properly then it should be fine. Or better yet go get one from the humane society so you know what the personality is good. I think rabbits make amazing pets I couldnt imagine my life without one. Anymore questions about them you can pm me.
