RATS!!!
i have four.!!!!
I would suggest two males if you get rats. Females are hyper and more active then males who just like to play and cuddle. lol
I love my ratties, they need vet checks though, but other then that they are fairly easy to care for.
You can give them baths!! lol I love giving my boys baths!!! lol
They love it..
they also need a big cage to live in, i would suggest a cage with 3-4 levels...
IMO Rats make great pets.
