WHICH PET?

I was thinkin bout getting a RODENT pet...
   
but i dont know which
   
+I go to school for 8 hours straight (7AM-3PM) that means im not gonna be able to socialize wit that pet or either feed it
   
i asked some ppl and prefer hamster or rats
   
they said hamsters doesnt need a lot of social attention and better off alone(like no hamster partner)
   
and rats loves being around with humans OFTEN (which I think i cannot do since i got school) and loves being with another rat...
   
if any of these information i got was wrong please let me know... and I also live in an apartment so im not sure if d lil guy would be cool wit that
   
so that is 8hours straight inside apartment with no human contact
   
also tell if u got any rodents u prefer :)
   

most rodents do better and actually will live longer if they have a partner. i have 2 guinea pigs and go to school 8 hrs a day and they stay in my room. they are perfectly fine.
   
to me any rodent would do fine, excluding a rat and a chinchilla. Hamsters, gerbils, and guinea pigs would be fine alone. But i would think about getting them a partner.
   
good luck!

No rats please! Rats are very social and prefer not only to have a cagemate but also need a great deal of human contact. While most rodents prefer a cagemate, a hamster or guinea pig can be left alone for several hours without human contact.
