Only my rats who are scared of my dogs try to bite them, the ones who aren't do not.

I would say mice.

In real life I have 4 dogs, 3 cats, 2 rabbits, 26 rats, 2 gerbils, 2 cockroaches, 1 turtle, 1 axolotl, and 8 fish.

    @SpiderFish
    I've been asking myself the same question for weeks!
    I love both syrians and mice, which makes it hard to choose.

    In my experience, mice are more inclined to interact with you/cuddle
    but my syrian is cleaner. I've tried to make a list of pros/cons but in
    my eyes, the cons don't out-weigh the pros so I've been stuck.

    -----------------------------

    I've had a rough couple of weeks guys...
    I've had three animals mysteriously pass around the same time.
    One mouse, one rat, and my tarantula. I've only just now been
    able to post this. And of course the precautions were taken to
    make sure nothing was being spread between them. The remaining
    animals seem fine and I'm keeping a close eye on them.

    I do have one question though, what do you do if one rat passes and
    you only have one remaining?
    I feel kinda bad about Avery being
    by himself now. Of course I'm also worried about possibly introducing a
    new rat in case I have some kind of outbreak on my hands...not to mention
    I don't really have the option to get another one either :/

If you had to pick RIGHT NOW between mice or hamsters, which would you instinctively choose?

Hamsters are cuter because cheeks.

From the bottom of my heart I do believe that what happened to that horrible person was karma. Do I feel bad for the rats? YES, I feel bad for them even being owned by that sick person. Do I think THE RATS deserved it? NO. Do I think HE deserved it? YES. He can't possible care about rats when he told me he was glad Indie died and hoped my other rats would die. I wish I could have taken all those rats from him, as I know they'd suffer a cruel fate at some point. Am I glad the rats died? NO. Am I glad he is hurt? YES.

The babies all moved into the big cages with absolutely no problems from the older rats. So proud of them!

Luna is happily taking her meds and drinking tons of ensure.

Hamsters, no fail. Just because they are chubbier :)

Also, does anyone on here know a lot about roan (husky) rats? I think my rescue boy might be roan, but it's hard to tell for me. Any help? Here's a pic of him

I think I may be losing Baze tonight. I'll explain more later on, right now he's laying on my bed with me on my arm so I only have one hand to type with.

Mice

Could just be a blazed rat. Time will tell.
If a roan, look at the ides, face, and tail root, (the color change works up ) every time he molts, he will get lighter.
