I have been thinking about getting another group of rodents but I don't know which rodents I can have in the same room as my mouse (soon mice) I was thinking gerbils or something like that but I can't find any information if they can be held in the same room (different cages duh) so I'm asking here what kind of animal could fit

List of rodents I've been considering:

Gerbils (can't find info on)

(Dwarf/mini) Hamster (haven't looked yet)

Rats (as long as they can't reach the mice it seems fine but it can stress the mice out)

Chinchillas (haven't looked yet)

Ferrets (not positive)

Degus (haven't looked yet)

Bunny (doubt it + don't have enough room)

Some may not be rodents I'm not that well versed in animal categories

I made a terrible mistake with one of my mice and I just need someone to talk to, I'm sorry if this is against the rules I'm just very distraught and need help

One of my mice got covered in sunflower oil and now I'm wondering if I should clean her or if it's something she can do herself, she's not really scared of being held but I doubt she would be happy being cleaned by me so I wanna avoid any unnecessary stress
