Have you considered sugargliders? If you want a pet that not everyone has, these are cool. You have to keep them in pairs, or they get depressed. My sister had a couple they are neat. And are easy to get friendly. http://images.google.com/images?sourceid=navclient&rlz=1T4TSHB_enUS241US241&q=sugargliders&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=1HpSS_3yOZXOlAe8oomvCg&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CBQQsAQwAA
