Hello, all. I have a question for all you pet owners: have you ever tried out mice or rats as pets? And if so, was your epxerience generally positive or negative? Would you suggest that someone else try out these rodents as pets? If anyone has dealt with both...which of the two was easier to deal with? Or are they essentially the same?

I'm a young student, so I'm looking for a pet who can live in close quarters and doesn't need a lot of maintenance (yes, I know that mice DO require regular maintenance, but not nearly as much as your run-of-the-mill dog). I would also think that the small size of the rodent would allow for smuggling into all sorts of fun places.

Thanks very much for your input!
