Rat or Rabbit2007-11-24 22:14:27

When I had a rabbit.well he was cute when he was small but as he got bigger he got smellier and I had to take him to the vet every couple of months to get his teeth cut down.

After saying all that....get a cat :)

rabbit because if it gets loose it will most likeley be able to live

I have Bunnys and they are great. But so are rats. Rats are more likly to get tomers. But bunnys some times need the teeth cliped. So I would go for the bunny!

Rats can be amazing companions. We live with 6 & each one has a distinct personality. It's best to get @ least 2 of the same sex so they won't be lonely when you're not with them. Keeping them together won't make them less friendly toward you, and will make them so much happier. They're fairly easy to care for, don't take up a lot of space & you can find them with different colors or textures of fur, or even no fur @ all (one of our girls is hairless). One of my best friends has rabbits & they are cute to watch, but don't really cuddle or play with people much (rats do). Also, rabbits need lots of room & a fair amount of money & effort goes into their care.

Rats are pretty clean and rabbits can be kinda messy.

i'd say the rat.

I used to have a pet rat.It was not that bad.But mine would pee all over its cage!And I would have to clean his cage a lot.Rabbit can be just as hard to look after they are both nice animals.So good luck.

I'd say get rats. Two or more in fact since they are very social creatures. But they do not cost less then a rabbit! For a rat you need to buy a decent sized cage which can run up to $200, invest in the right food (the best block advaible is Herlan Trelad, next best is Muzri (sp?) but you can use a vegitarian dog food with 18% crude fat or less), toys to keep them entertained such as hammocks and stuff.

I say rabbits because they live longer and they are cuter and have softer fur. Plus, you won't have to deal with everyone saying "Eww, you have a pet RAT?" Lots of people don't like rats but just about everyone loves rabbits.
