What do you prefer?
Out of hamsters,gerbs,rats and mice, which do you all prefer!?
Me, personally I am partial to rats.Actually it is more of an addiction with me! Hahaha...I adore rats.Mice would be 2nd on my list and then hamsters and gerbs last.

I would have to say that I definately prefer rats. They are just so loving! Second would be mice, and I would have gerbils third, and then hamsters, mainly because I've had some fairly negative experiences with hamsters.

I've never had a rat so I'll go with hamsters  . All my hamsters have been extremely friendly and a ton of fun. They're such awesome critters  .

I can't choose between my tatties and meeces so they'll have to be joint favourite. I've never had any of the others so couldn't say.

I have had rats, gerbils and hamster, never had mice for pets though.
For me probably a tie between hamsters and gerbils. I loved my rats but it was hard to clean there cages before, because I didn't know where to put them while I clean there cages. Where hamsters and gerbils you can put them in a carrier or a ball.

I definitely like rats, but I started with hamsters, so they will always have a special place.

When I do my rat cages, I just let the rats run around and play together!!They get the run of the room!

Rats are so affectionate and intelligent...No other rodent can beat them at that, I think.
