Guinea pigs (also know as cavy) are gentle and lovable pets, perfect for just about anyone.
Guinea pigs are of the rodent family but are very cute, and in comparison to pretty much every other rodent very clean. Guinea pigs love attention and are quite friendly with humans. Guinea pigs rarely ever bit as long as you are gentle and do not scare them they shouldn?t try too run away. Guinea pigs should live about 4-7 years if well cared for, may live slightly more or less.
Ferrets make great pets for people who have patients, and love animals. Ferrets are like balls of energy they are fast and almost always moving.
Mice and rats can be found around some houses and many other places but these aren?t the types you want as pets, you want the ones from your local pet store the ones free of germs and diseases. Mice and rats can be very clean and smart animals rats have even been known to respond to their name. They are nocturnal but can adjust to be awake during the day so you can enjoy watching them play and eat, rats and mice can be very playful and gentle and even fun sometimes they will if treated well be affectionate, mice and rats rarely ever bit only if your finger smells like food or they are protecting something. Because of how social mice and rats are it is best to keep them together so you should have 2 otherwise they may be lonely.
A gerbil is a small mammal of the order Rodentia. Once known simply as “desert rats”, the gerbil subfamily includes about 110 species of African, Indian, and Asian rodents, including sand rats and jirds, all of which are adapted to arid habitats. Most are primarily diurnal [1] (though some, including the common household pet, do exhibit crepuscular behavior), and almost all are omnivorous.
The word “gerbil” is a diminutive form of “jerboa”, though the jerboas are an unrelated group of rodents occupying a similar ecological niche.
One Mongolian species, Meriones unguiculatus, also known as the Clawed Jird, is a gentle and hardy animal that has become a popular pet. It was first brought to the United States in 1954 by Dr. Victor Schwentker for use in research.[2]
Gerbils are typically between six and twelve inches (150 to 300 mm) long, including the tail which makes up approximately one half of their total length. One species however, the Great Gerbil, or Rhombomys opimus, originally native to Turkmenistan, can grow to more than 16 inches (400 mm) in length. The average adult gerbil weighs approximately 2 1/2 ounces. As of August 19, 2003, officials in western China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region began releasing eagles to combat the damage they say the great gerbils have done to eleven million acres (46,000 km?) of grassland.
