I'm getting a new pet...which one is best?

Question

It's between a chipmunk, chinchilla, 'degu', rat or plain ol hamster! cost doesn't really matter. I'd ideally love a chinchilla, but i've never had one before - should i get something else to begin with to start me off?

Let me know your thoughts/if you have one of the above pets/what they are like etc.

Thanks!

:)

Answer 1

rats are great pets! whatever you hear about how disgusting they are isnt true! they are very clean animals. the live around 3 years and so they live longer than a gerbil or hamster and they also will enjoy going on walks with you either on you shoulder or on a leash. if you do get a rat you are better off getting 2 at the same time because theylive a longer happier life with a friend around them 24-7. if you live in an apartment I wouldnt reccomend anything like a dog. they make a huge mess. but if you are up to it than get a dog. they are great pets too.

I hope I helped!

Answer 9

hamster they are not usually wild or mean.

a chipmunk is not a pet,a chinchilla may be dangerous and i think rats are not a great choice either.

whatever you choose make sure you are devoted to the proper care and treatment that all animals deserve,good luck!
