Lately I’ve been seeing people recommend rodents (in general) as pets that can/should be fed a vegan diet which is… Odd to me considering rats, mice, gerbils, hamsters, and hedgehogs are omnivorous and range from benefiting to just straight up needing protein from bugs/meat to survive.

So out of common pet rodents that leaves you with guinea pigs, which ARE vegan and I would recommend as a pet to fit that lifestyle. Rabbits are not rodents but are vegan (and lovely companions).

Please don’t recommend animals to fit a lifestyle when they also cannot fit that lifestyle. It will mislead people into not caring for their pets properly.
