So, I'm going to be moving to a place soon, and the landlord graciously said that he will allow hamsters and guinea pigs, much to my liking.

But I've wondered, which do you guys think would be better for an apartment? A (very cute) hamster or the guinea pigs of the larger variety (my dad calls guinea pigs half a cat, lol)?

I personally think they're both cute, but I wonder which one would be better. I looked a bit, but they say both of them are good.

Now, I don't now if any of you have ever owned one or the other (or both), but I just want your opinion, lol.
