Setting up a tank

Okay so I just had this dream last night (have had many very similar dreams in the last year or so) typically my dreams are pretty wild as a kid I had night terrors, but a chunk of my dream I was in some house and I had 2 pet rats, one was in its cage just fine and the other had somehow escaped, so I was holding him (pretty small mouse all of a sudden) and trying to get some sort of tuber-ware box situation to put him in while I set up some other thing that sorta looking like a big enough “for now” cage set up, but the container I picked up would either all of sudden be to small or the “mouse” would turn into a larger white rat or a guinea pig in my hand and then not fit where I was trying to put him, he then got out of my hands a few times and I barely was able to scoop him back off my bed before he got away, and then I woke up 🤷🏻‍♀️ I have had many similar dreams, sometimes it’s with fish tanks and either realizing everything in the tank is dead, or super over crowded and some need to be transferred to another cage, with the tanks it’s normally fish or reptiles but all kinds of them in one tank, and I love small animals I don’t see them as a nuisance and have owned quite the many over my life as well so I don’t look as these creatures as bad symbols 🤷🏻‍♀️ idk anybody got any ideas what this means or is trying to tell me? Sorry for the long read 👋🏻
