    If you want a rodent that'd make a good pet, you should consider getting a couple of Rats. A lot of people turn their noses up at the mention of rats but pet rats are nothing like their wild cousins. Rats make much better pets than mice or hamsters. They also smell a lot less than mice. Rats are very sociable and inteligent animals. I keep both rats and mice and the rats are by far the nicer pets. Whenever I walk past their cage the come up to the side to see me. If I open the door, they run up to the door and walk out onto my hand. They will quite happily sit on my shoulder while I walk around the house. My mice wont do that.

    Rats are social animals so are best kept in pairs or groups. They ar proliffic breaders too so are best kept in same sex groups, Males normally live quite happily together.

    Just something to think about.
