Chinchillas

Chinchillas are small enough that their habitat doesn't need to take up much space, they're playful and cuddly, and they even clean themselves, so you don't have to bathe your new pet when you're trying to hit the books. Just be sure to keep some ash or sand on hand so that your chinchilla can self-clean!
