I want to get a couple of dwarf hamsters but my husbands says that they attract unwanted rodents (mice/rats). I've recently had a wild rat in the house the whole thing has shaken me a lot (still jump at the sight of some something moving unexpectedly). I think dwarf hamsters are ok as I had one before but, at the moment, any animal with a long tail is a no no - flashback from the wild rat . The other alternative is to get a couple of gold fish but I really would like a small pet that I can handle or cuddle.
Any advice?
