Answer 1

Get a hamster, they dont bite, they are waaay cuter, easier to take care of, more fun, they dont smell, and they dont have a bald tail.

Answer 2

rats because they are more friendly, easier to hold, love humans, and are all around perfect pets

Answer 3

i will say a mouse it doesn't take to much space an it's really easy too

Answer 4

In my opinion mice are better pets, they are smaller and do not take up much space also there food and toys are easier to find in stores mice are alot cheaper than rats and adorable, if you cant choose between mouse

or rat i would probably go for a hamster they make much better pets and are so much cuter...

hope I helped!

Answer 5

it doesnt matter. the only difference is the size.

mice are generally smaller, while rats are a little bigger. as far as maitenece, i think the mouse [because of it's size] will be easier to take care of.

Answer 6

Rats. They are a little bigger, but worth it, because they don't p**p everywhere (they like a section of their cage reserved for p**p). All they need is a water bottle, a wheel, and a bowl of food.

Answer 7

A rat. Mouses are dirtier and bite.  

Answer 8

rat

Answer 9

Rats are friendlier, cleaner and more 'humanlike', and will interact with you on a more intelligent level than mice do :)

If you do go for rats, you'll need to get two of the same gender at the same time, as they're quite social.

Mice are a little more skittish and fragile, and not quite as friendly, although they're probably more easy to care for.

Answer 10

A Mouse!!!

A rat takes alot of time and if you buy an untame one they WILL bite and it's sore, a mouse is sore to but they don't have massive teeth.

Mice are much easier to keep but make sure you only get one or get two the same s*x because they breed like nothing else!

***What is cuter???!***

Answer 11

a mouse is easier to take care of and takes up less space and also you have to play with it every day (a rat) but a mouse can be played with once a day but most probably is better every two days as they can get too scared and have a heart attack  

Answer 12

mouse. who want a rat? ewww!

Answer 13

a mouse is easier and a lot cuter!!!

Answer 14

A rat is way easier to take care of.... I owned one before... you dont have to play with them ever day but you can I believe that rats live longer mine lived to be like 3 and a half you only have to clean their cage once a week... (P.s) they like wooden houses and a tunnel thing made out of fabric, thats where it would sleep, you should get a 2 story cage because they love going up and downstairs,

-Hope I Helped

Answer 15

it depends if you want one that is easier to take care of. or if you want one that is more friendly. mice are easier to take care of than rats but rats don't p**p and squirm around as much. be aware they both smell.  

Answer 16

Mice  Bad=  they smell.  They wipe there pee on them. Good= they are cute and cuddly.

Rats bad= most people dont like them  Good= they are smart clean and cool.

In my opinion i would get a rat.

hope i helped good luck!
