    You may want to consider a Gambian pouched rat, they live significantly longer, 5-7 years (but are more difficult in many ways)

    They’re also hugeee

      Omg i would LOVE a Gambian pouch rat! They are so cool. I was sad when Magawa passed away last year. I think we will stick with the dog for now since we are planning on spending the next couple of years on a sailboat but maybe one day I’ll be able to convince my husband to go for some fun pets like that. Honestly my dream would be to have a few capybaras but they come with their own challenges and I’m not sure I would ever be able to provide the perfect living conditions for them! Maybe I’ll get to have some pigs one day 😁
