It would be just inconsiderate to bring in animals without everyone being in agreement, just because "I pay bills too". Its just asking for major issues with roommates and those issues never end well. I dont know what kind of living situation the OP is in, but it isnt worth her being out of a place to live, especially when they were already willing to compromise. If she is living with several girls, they probably are already not too excited about having rats in the freezer
Also, I can also see where the roomies are coming from, having a girlfriend who works at a pet store who wants to save every single cat, dog, small animal, reptile and fish that comes into the door. You have to set a limit or you'll run the risk of being neck deep in pets, all of the tables having some sort of tank (and smelling like a zoo).
When I was single, I had 1 cat, now I have 4 cats, 2 tarantulas, 2 BP (one mine) and 4 fish in 2 different tanks. At some point (when she asked me if she can have a bearded dragon) I had to tell her not to bring one more GD thing into this house or she, her cats and spiders, fish and snake would have to pack their bags.
"Whats one more pet" is a snowball rolling down a hill.
