I've had a wide variety of rodents as pets... mice, rats, rabbits, chinchillas... and friends have had gerbils, hamsters and guinea pigs (are they rodentia?). I would say rats are the best overall as a pet. They're smart and playful, loyal and interesting. Mice are cutish, but not very bright in the end. Rabbits are terrible pets. They're cute, especially lop-ears, but they just don't make good pets. Chinchillas are a mixed bag. Sometimes they tame VERY well. Often they don't tame at all. Gerbils and hamsters can be cute, but they're not very useful, and gerbils tend to bite often.
