Pros:
 • Rabbits are generally larger in size than hamsters, making them easier to handle.
 • Rabbits are social animals and can form strong bonds with their owners.

Cons:

Pros:
 • Hamsters are easy to care for and are generally low maintenance pets.

 • Hamsters are friendly and can be handled with ease.

Cons:
