Do rats or degus make the best pets?

Question

ive already got a rat, shes getting old and i think id like a degu next. Should i stick with a rat or go for a degu

Answer 1

Personally, I'd stick with rats - I had two degus a while back, very nice, i don't know much about them but yeah... the two i had soon multiplied into 6... I had already had rats before, and i have another 3 now, and they're amazing. not to tilt the scales in any way shape or form, but I'd stick with a rat, but obviously the choice is yours :)

Answer 2

they are both very good pets for people who have alot of time rats u have to play with every day for at leats an hour a day and have to have a big leveld cage ,degus not so sure about because i havent had 1 and dont do much research on them but i would go for a rat if u have anough time
