We got a bunny this summer. It's pretty cool. It's litter trained and not really very messy. It's not the most snuggly thing in the world -- she's got an attitude. It likes to sit on my wife's shoulder -- sort of like a parrot, except quiet and fuzzy.

We call her Honey . She's a Netherlands Dwarf -- I think.

I'd say go for a kangaroo! We all have at least one kangaroo here in Australia...heh

hamster?? they are really cute ..

Yeah with the exception of Boo. :D

Salamander!

Hey, it's nice to see some Australian animals being mentioned. Pity they don't make good pets ;)

I'd suggest a snake, too. Maybe a Gecko.
http://www.rarerehab.org/ballpython.gif Ball Python snake. Males grow to four feet, females to six, yet for snakes, they're easy to keep.

http://www.abilenetx.com/zoo/images/gecko.jpg Leopard gecko. Easiest of all lizards to keep. I have two, and they're no problem. Except for the fact that I can't tell them apart, thus have named them "Gecko" and "Gecko"....

How about a Venus Fly trap? Yeah its a plant but at least you won't have to take it out for walks and have to deal with the leash.

Shrews...

Shrews are awesome...

just curious.. what do you feed these little guys?
