I posted before and now I'm narrowing down my choices. Please read below before answering.
I want a rodent for a pet and I have narrowed it down to either RATS or GUINEA PIGS.
I like them because they're not hellbound to escape like mice, hamsters, or chinchillas, and because they are social, calm, and like to cuddle in your lap and can form a close bond with humans.
IMPORTANT: However, I do have a dog. He gets along with small mammals- never bites them even if they bite him, and basically just ignores them once he is introduced to them. Because I have a dog, I want a rodent that will get along with the dog or at least be tolerant & calm. I don't want a rodent that will be too easily scared by him b/c I don't want it to get a heart attack and die out of fear. So please tell me from your experience how rats or GP get along with dogs.
If you have any other suggestions for rodent pets besides dogs please tell me! thank you!
