What pet should I get?

I have a 10-gallon aquarium that used to house my dwarf hamster, Snowbelle (RIP). Now that she is gone, I am hoping to get a new pet for Christmas. I want to know if there is another pet (besides a hamster) that I could get, that is more social (Snowbelle bit a lot) than a ham, and NOT a gerbil. Something that would fit in a ten-gallon tank if possible and would not completely freak my 'rents out, that doesn't need TOO too much care, and something that is cute and interesting, if possible. I don't mind reptiles, but my mom does, so please no reptiles or amphibians. =)

Thanks

    hmm, your kinda being specific aren't you? lol

    well, I would say rats, they are very social. The only problem is that aquariums arent good for rats really.(they need ventilation, amonia buildup and such) But if you got a cage-topper for it(a cage that goes on top of the aquarium to increase space) a ten gallon aquarium would be pretty good for one rat. Here is a link - http://martinscages.com/products/cages/toppers/

    Also, rats are very intelligent!

    Reptiles/Mini crabs

    Fish

    Nothing else can go in the 10 gallon tank

    The price will depend on your puppy's breed, age, in which you are living, and what variety of plan you get, however a ballpark rate could be anyplace from $20 to $eighty five per thirty days. I advise doing study and discovering a plan that covers all injuries and ailments with out complicated payout schedules. Trupanion can pay ninety% of the precise bills with none limits. Please suppose loose to discuss with our website or name us to invite questions!
