Talking Suggestions

Hi there, Im interested in getting some type of exotic mamall or rodent, I was considering getting a mouse but I was thinking about something more wild.

Wht would you all suggestm something thats not too expensive (like chinchilla) and something thats handleable and doesnt need a huge enclosure like a ferret...

Why not go for something like a pair of rex or hairless rats? They're that little bit different - but still make great, handleable, friendly pets.

i think a wallaby is a little bit excessive when they were only considering a mouse in the first instance bit of a difference. Doung? do you mean degu? these are quite cool if you can get some that are handlable. one of mine bit into my finger n wouldnt let go, nearly lost the tip it was that deep!!! needless to say i no longer have degu's fab pets if you can get tame ones though
