Whats the best rodent for a pet2007-11-24 22:18:10

something small and cuddly,but easy to take care of.

Answers:

Gerbils! I own two! Gerbils are great. They are dinural, so are awake night and day. They get very excited about any new thing you put into the tank for them and will immediately explore it. You can make cardboard buildings/tunnels for them and they will love crawling into, through, over, and on them. Then they will gnaw it all up. You can house two for a $25 10 gallon set up. They are by far the cleanest of all the small pets, so bedding is not a big expense. They live in clans and groom, nest, play together. You can house up to seven boys in one tank (five gallons of space per gerbil). They are easy to breed and both mother and father are great parents. Gerbils come in about 40 colors and varieties. They are not a big commitment as the life span is about 3 1/2 years.

Good luck on choosing the perfect pet! I hope you get to experience the joy of owning pet gerbils!

P.S. Gerbils are better than hamsters!=)

A hamster. Just take it out of its cage everyday and play with it.

You can even buy it a one of those exercise balls. They are usally sweet and never bite. But when you get it dont play with it right away let it get used to its surroundings. You should also clean its cage every two or three weeks.
