I'm going to have to break the rules here and say ferret. They are awesome. Fun. Cute. Mischievous. Ferrets!!!! A few people Ive come across assume ferrets are nasty because the ones they met were. None of mine were/are mean. Maybe its how I socialized them with other ferrets and people when given the chance. And you just can't beat the weasel war dance! And the chattery noises. Too cute :)

Uhhh gerbels are waay more sociable than hamster, not to mention less expensive. Also hamster die quicker if they dont sleep all day. My friend had like 6 hamsters already and shes only 13

Hamster! I had a hamster when I was about 10 and I loved my hamster. You should get one. They're not mean at all, at least mine wasn't.

Hamster's are cuter.

Hamster. They're so cute!

Hamtaro.

I don't understand the difference between a hamster and a gerbil lol

Dogs are the best. Get a doggie.

I would go for the two gerbils! Hamsters are so cute but they bite. I know it wasn't listed as an option but rats are probably the best choice and as far as temperament: intelligent, affectionate, gentle and social. I remember a friend of mine and I used to always debate rats vs gerbils. So I would whole heartedly endorse gerbils if rats are not an option. Hamsters are nice to look at but not so nice to hold and play with. I remember being at a Petsmart in Mississippi about 15 yeas ago who they got a shipment of rodents in and the lady putting them in the tanks had no problem with the mice, rats and gerbils but she didn't like handling the hamsters cause they would bite.
