Yeah, I think rat hands are cute, actually :) I don't really get why people are squicked out by them, but a friend of mine had a pet rat and I thought it was as cool as the ferrets another friend had. And I would not want to be scratched by a ferret or a rat... their paws may be tiny but their claws are sharp! I imagine the same is true of wallabies.

Kangaroos have always fascinated me. I'd love to have a chance to see one in person some day.
