Yes, do not take advice from TDM. I think she was Noah in a past life!!

I don't agree, no way would I stop at just two of each animal

I asked my OH which he would prefer and he said rats because he prefers them more...but if i get my own way i might be able to get both anyway

Rats will need a bigger cage. My housemate has 2 rats in a Freddy 2...which is a good size....but now her ratties are fully grown, she has decided they need a BIGGER space. My 4 mice live in a 3 tier Imac and they have plenty of room.

I will say....I love rats....but I prefer mice. They are both very cute!!!!!!!!!! x
Female mice are a lot more active and hyper whereas males are like men...very relaxed (almost horizontally so!)

Have you tried preloved or guntree? I'm sure that there are breeders in your area or pretty close to it.
