okay, I'd like to get a rat in about a year or 2. But i promised myself no more caged animals till I have a cage big enough that is easy to clean. and i didn't want any other rats/mice/birds etc till aftre Panda because it would drive him mad.
with rats, is that stinky smell unstoppable? is it going to smell even if i clean it out every few days? if it is i won't be allowed one till i move out.
just wondering. i'd like to get 2 rats, probably a male and female but have the male desexed. But i want a cage big enough so that they will be happy in it during the day while i'm at work.
also, i'm interested in maybe getting a bird.
Leaning toward cockateal (sp?) or perhaps a budgie (can they be safe outside their cage? but again, wondering about the smell and noise?
