Small exotic mammals
I'd love to have a pair of something small and furry - was looking at acacia rats (or at least trying to!), but couldn't find anything about them. Can somebody help me out with any info on these or something of a similar size (gerbils kinda size or thereabouts) Thanks, Ben

Mmmm I would imagine Nerys would be the one to speak to really - have you looked on the TSKA website at all?
I am not so good with really small mammals and rodents other than run of the mill ones - although I dooo really like the look of short tailed oppossums  Good luck in your search

Naked rats!!!
Think its gonna have to be naked rats!!!! When we buy our own place i think i may breed these (or at least like to!) Also I want some mice coz they're so cute. Could somebody please explain the genetics thing in rats to me please. If I got normals, dumbos, nakeds, balds, dumbo nakeds etc - what would work with what and what other funky kinda things could i come out with? How do I get long hairs? (I've heard that people with breeding mice for generations just come out with things like satins and long hairs - but i want to know what i'm doing! Is there a chance of breeding naked mice? How would this come about? Thanks (and sorry for all the questions!- They're just too cute!), Ben

How about some Roborovski hamsters?
 Set up a roomy tank for them with loads of wood and other toy bits etc and watch them do their thing! Very lively little guys, and absolutely heart-meltingly adorable. Plus they are tiny!  They are super-fast though, so can be tricky to handle. Dont know if these are "exotic" enough, but they are lovely!

Just make sure you do your research on naked rats if you plan on breeding. Personally I would go onto the fancy-rats uk forum and ask on the breeding/varieties section there - I know there is one person who is starting a hairless line. Just be aware that if you are breeding them for shops or a bit of 'fun', you may not get the best reception! The problem with rats is that they are so prone to a whole series of genetic problems, you really don't really want to be breeding just to get 'funky' things out, but to also try and establish healthy lines.

I know a guy who was big into degus - he said sometimes you might get a good'un but others they're just eveil buggers! They also might need a biggish enclosure which i can't provide (coz of space) at the mo.
