Wow, I just read what one person put as an answer a few above and I just want to explain. First of all, they were domesticated 500 years before the cat. Secondly, they don't smell if they are descented, regularly bathed, eating good, healthy, non-fishy food, and there litter boxes are cleaned. They do not take anyone special to raise, just someone who is willing to research and take good care of a pet. To the person who answered with taht awful answer, don't say stuff like that unless you have done your research. It's ignorant people like you that turn a lot of people off to one of the most intelligent and cutest animals.

It depends on if you have a lot of time on your hands or not. To get a ferret, you have to play with them/let them out of their cage at least 4 hours a day. They are very interactive pets and will provide you with hours of amusement. Beware though. They do their business in litter boxes, but you need at least one in every room they play in. Also, you have to be careful cos the critters get into everything, trash cans, cabinets, etc. It's always a good idea to constrict them to just a few rooms you know will be safe.

If you have less time on your hands or want a more cuddly pet, I'd say go with the hamster or gerbil. But I don't really know much about them. Whatever you do, do some research before you buy.

A hamster. They're so cuddly and I've never had a problem with them. Guinea pigs are cute too, though. Just don't get a ferret, they stink bad dude!
