well if you go to petco, there is an adoption table (usally)


and they usally have rats on the adoption table


and anything that is on the adoption table is free


but a normal rat would cost about 3-10$


which isnt so bad. i prefer to have rats because hamster and gerbils are more likly to bite but can still be very loving like all critters. have fun with your new critter. good luckHow much would a hamster,gerbil or a rat costs at a regular pet store?
You should get a rat. They are the best because they are usally the sweetest and they love to be held. Hamsters and gerbils dont. I just got two large baby rats 2 days ago and they costed $10 each. And I bought them all their stuff(including water bottle, food bowl, food, hut, and large cage) and them for almost $80 so it is very cheap. But I do advise you to get two of them because they hate being alone and will often become depressed and lonely by themselves.
They're all pretty much between 10-12$


Gerbils are the most social and active. If you get a partner of the same sex for them, they won't be able to breed but will have company and then you don't need to spend a lot of time with them. All you do is feed them every day and make sure their water is always fresh. Play with them around 15 minutes a day and then once in a while (weekly) clean out their cage and give them a bath in chinchilla dust. It's so cute to watch- they roll around and then their fur is shiny when they're done. Gerbils are cute, fun, friendly, inexpensive, easily entertained, and not time-consuming at all.





The total cost for 2 gerbils, a 10-gallon aquarium, toys, food, bedding, and other incidentals is $75-85 they're cheap and make awesome pets! Good luck!
im guessing 20-30


rat prolly cheeper.


i would want a rat though.





=D
Well personally I would deffinately get a pair of rats, they are so sweet and cuddley and they will love you forever if u treat them right but you MUST get a pair no matter how much you play with them. Rata are very social and need company. I heard gerbils bite and hamsters run away. Theyy don't love you like a rat does.
hamsters $10-20, gerbils the same, rats $30-40. I have 3 hamsters all bought at petsmart, all in their own cages since they are solitary animals.
Rats will run you about $5 each, but they're really great pets. They're self aware, which means they can think and have feelings, much like we do. Each one has a personality. You'll want to pick one that comes when you click your tongue at it or squeek through your teeth, as it'll be readilly sociable.





I like female rats, as they're less musky and tend to explore more. You DO NOT have to get a pair of rats if you play with the one enough. I find that they stay more ';rat-like'; if there's another rat around. If they stay solo, they socialize to YOU instead.





They're also trainable to do tricks and even use a litter box.
