Answers:

Oh definately rats!

I've cared for both and every single time I'd choose ratties! They're basically like minature dogs. Mine loved to play games with me. They'd try to sneak up on me, I'd grab them and tickle their tummies and then they'd POUNCE and jump up and down on my lap. -laughs- Ahhh the memories.

They're incredibly smart animals. There is such a thing as rat Olympics. And in Africa they've trained rats to find active land mines so the people can disarm them. (note: the rats are too light to set the mines off! ^.^) Shows how intelligent they can be! They desire attention from humans, regardless of whether or not they have a cagemate. (I kept some rats singly; later on I rescued two brothers who'd been raised together and absolutely ADORED one another. Unlike with a lot of other rodents, rats can get along with cagemates of the same gender (and obviously of the opposite gender! ^.~ spicey!)

I won't go bashing guinea pigs (not fond of them) 'cause there are a lot of people out there that really love theirs. I salute them all! But it's ratties for me! XD
