Thanks! We already have a 10 gallon tank, so what could that comfortably house? Then I'd only have to buy a screen top as far as caging goes. I'm currently leaning toward mice, because they are so much easier to find 'feeder mice' in my area, and they are inexpensive. Hamsters around me, I've found to be like $25. Mice are around $2 or less for feeder mice. Everyone says they are social and smart, and that's what I'd like. Of course, I want to do all of the research I can BEFORE I get the animal to make sure that I know how to properly care for it. So, wondering about bedding and what could easily live in a 10 gallon tank.
