Need an advice

[sad_watermelon]

Hi! I'm going to go abroad for university this fall and in my dormitory pets are allowed as long as they are quiet. I will be all alone there and every time I stay alone for a long period of time and get depression, so I am looking for a pet to bring there with me. I am a dog person, so a cat is not an option for me. I want an animal that I would be able to leave alone for a few hours a day (like 3 hours) for the time I am studying and that would be able to provide me emotional support in exchange of my care and love. I am really into touching when expressing love, so I would prefer an animal that would let me caress it. Also, a quite small one, so I could eventually take it with me when I go home during holidays instead of letting somebody else care for it. My experience with hamsters and gully pigs is that they don't like me and they fear me 😂. I would like to know your advice and experience. I have had a lot of pets and have always took good care of them and I am aware of all the responsibilities that I will have and I am ready to give up a lot, just to not feel depressed again and having a little somebody who loves me and who I love. Thank you 🩷

Naturally I would recommend a hedgehog.
