I think you should get a pet rat, I loved Niles when I had him...Frasier, not so much, after he got all aggresive

Do you ever think of getting other rats, or would it be too difficult with Nigel around? (I suppose it would be unfair to the rat to live with Niggiepooh).

well, Niles was still alive when I first got Nigel, and Nigel kept trying to eat him.
So, nope. no more ratties for me

=(

You should! I've got three now - they're great fun, and more or less hassle-free. It's like having a cat that you can put away when you're busy.

I had a hamster once, when I was a kid. We lost interest in him very quickly and forgot him in his cage underneath my brother's bed. A week later, we figured out what was that bad smell...

Hamsters are rubbish - they're nocturnal and don't seem to like people particularly. You can play with rats and let them out to explore and clamber around furniture, and they chitter when they're happy or entertained.

Cleaning them out's a bit of pain, but they're cheap to keep because they'll eat pretty much anything.
