Pets Poll: Is a pet Rat right for you? Vote for your top choice from the list below. This poll is based upon the selector "Is a pet Rat right for you?" by Nomad. Translate: Choose from this list: Yes, a rat is a good match for you! I recommend a companion as well, but this is not necessary with your schedule. A rat is a good match for you, but it is imperitive that you purchase a companion rat for your pet. Rats need far more attention than you can provide, from your answers. Consider a hamster or gerbil, as both require far less personal interaction. Research other types of pets, especially hamsters or gerbils if you must have a mammalian pet. A rat is not a suitable pet for you. A rat might appeal to you, but your lifestyle would not appeal to the rat. Look into reptiles or insects as pets, and avoid mammals and birds.
