Housemate wants a pet rat...

[joshleb]

Anybody got a good argument against getting one.

I've mentioned noise, cleaning the cage, cost, potential smell, who takes care when she's away.

Any help appreciated, cheers!

Yea, I'm against it, but I want to persuade her against it rather than her blaming me for her not getting one.

She has her fads as well, so I will just have to dissuade her for a week before she starts a new diet/tv series/ exercise type.
