What's a good small, cuddly pet to play with besides dogs or cats?

Question

I already have a dog, rabbit and hamster but I want a pet that I can snuggle with but also play with. I'm trying to stay away from getting a dog or cat. What would you recommend?

Have you considered a guinea pig? Guinea pigs are relatively affordable pets and are considered a good companions and social. But, bear in mind that guinea pigs do best when paired with another guinea pig of the same sex, which can increase your costs. The guinea pigs need a large cage to live in, which usually cost less than $50. Bedding, food and toys can get pricey, but you can save by purchasing fresh veggies on sale.
