Looking for a new Rodent!?

I have had hamsters, fish (saltwater so can take an exotic or special care animal), dog, birds, (have had is only for the hamster still have all the rest), I am going to get a Sugar Glider in March, but I want something now nothing too expensive. I was think something small easy to care for, and dosen’t live too long, (that sound really mean but by that i mean like 20 years+ not like 5 or so), I really like the Black Bear Hamster, no teddy bears though, maybe a mouse not too sure, duprasi, short-tailed opossum, hedgehog, Roborovski Hamster. My question is which to get one of those or none? Recommend anything you think would be suitable for me! Thanks a lot!

Why are sugar gliders, hedgehogs,and ferrets illegal in CA????

I dont get it. Do they just make these DUMB rules for the heck of it? Are they afraid hedgehogs will dominate California. Do they think sugar gliders will murder someone, are they worried that ferrets will swallow people whole?owning all these animals aspeically gliders and hedgehogs is no different than owning a hamster. I was hooked on buying a cute sugar glider when to my discust I found that they were illegal in California.Hamsters bunnies and guinea pigs is sooo last century to me. I think eliminating these beautiful animals, from Cali makes the state boring. You cant own that and that and that and that and blah blah blah. Whats the seemingly pointless reason for making these animals illegal?

NEED ideas on pets-pls see question?

I currently have one cockatiel (which is spoiled rotten), 6 parakeets and a male betta fish- It may sound like alot but its not to me- Everyone is happy and healthy- ANYWAY= I have been looking to add to my “flock” but I am not ready for a dog or a cat….have looked up hamsters,gerbils,sugar gliders, ferrets,etc…I want to do the research before I made a final decision- ANY OTHER SMALL animals that I am leaving out?
ANY IDEAS are welcome- just not a cat, dog or bird-

I’m moving into a small apartment with my boyfriend, and since my bf works long hours i wanted to get a pet.

I don’t want a huge responsibilty like a dog because i go to school and work as well. I want something furry and soft. What are the best pets? Ferrets, bunnies, sugar gliders, hamsters?

Small Pets?

What other kinds of small pets are out there besides hamsters, sugar gliders, and chinchilla’s??
