Want to get a small, furry pet. I live in an apt. and don't have a whole lot of free time during the day so was thinking of something other than a dog or cat. Had a hamster once, but it got sick and died a few months later. Still have the cage and stuff though, so i was thinking of getting something along the same line (gerbil, ferret, guinea pig). I would like some feedback on what types there are and some of their characteristics. I've done research so I'm mainly looking for personal experience here. (i.e. which types make good travel companions if necessary, which types tend to be more aggressive (biting) and which seem to have a friendly nature, male or female, which ones have less odor and mess, easy to care for, ect). I don't mind if they're nocturnal, but I .would like to be able to hold it and play with it without being bitten...and would love it if it didn't run away when I got it out. Already have a fairly large hamster cage, but wasn't necessarily wanting another one.
