What is easier to take care of? A baby flying squirrel, a baby chipmunk, a baby gerbil, or a baby rabbit?

I love all of 'em....But my dad wants the easiest one to take care of. And also, where is the best place i can find them in MA?What is easier to take care of? A baby flying squirrel, a baby chipmunk, a baby gerbil, or a baby rabbit?
I would say a gerbil. Chipmunks and flying squirrels are as bit less domesticated so they wouldn't be as social and would need some special care. Rabbits are fairly easy to take care of, but they get big FAST so you would need a bigger cage(plus they poop a lot!). Rabbits also need exercise that they can't always get in a cage so you would need an outdoor area for it to run in and eat grass. Gerbils stay small, and are very social. They don't need a whole lot of care, just a full food dish, water bottle, and some cardboard or wood to chew on. If you want the easiest thing to take care of get a gerbil. If you want a pet you can hold a lot and is very affectionate, get a rabbit, but keep in mind that they do get big and require a bit more care because of their size. If I could suggest something in the middle, guinea pigs are more social and affectionate than gerbils but smaller than rabbits. They are very easy to care for, but they do make squeaky guinea pig noises XD You can get gerbils, guinea pigs, and rabbits and any local pet store or Petco/PetSmart. Hope this helps!What is easier to take care of? A baby flying squirrel, a baby chipmunk, a baby gerbil, or a baby rabbit?

Gerbils stay small, and are very super social. they also love to be with at least one other gerbil.

i have gerbils
Gerbil, 100%. Rabbits are like cats, they need companionship. Chipmunks and Squirrels do NOT make good pets, they are wild animals and need to live in the WILD.





Gerbils live in hamster cages, they should always have a same-sex partner. Change their bedding once a week, give them food and a couple hidey holes and a place to burrow and they'll be fine. Rabbits are much more of a hassle and a lot more expensive.





I would check your local shelter, if they have none, go to a pet store near you.
gerbil
Your best bet is to find a local spca. I would say gerbil but you can't hold them like you can a rabbit, but you still can't help falling in love with them!
