What kind of rodents are the cleanest?

Answer 1

So far, I (as a child) have had two guinea pigs, one mouse, and one bunny. You can never really generalize on animals because each one is different. My guinea pigs were social but could be skittish at times and shed a lot. The mouse I had was mostly nocturnal (meaning they sleep during the day) and when I tried to pick him up, he always ran away frightened. The bunny I had was very sweet and lovable but bit me once and a friend told me it could have been his "teenage hormones".


As I said each breed and individual animal is different but my experience has been that bunnies/ rabbits tend to be the warmest, most social, cuddle up rodents out there.

Answer 2

Depends on your definition. Mice are remarkably fastidious (more so than cats, for sure) but consider that there can't be much dirt on an amoeba. Also, how clean an animal is has a lot to do with its opportunities. Swine wallow in mud to keep cool (no sweat glands), but they'd prefer to take showers if they were offerred.
