Mostly any animal will do. I haven't seen a list anywhere, but give me some time and I'll see what I can do!
When in darkness, you can always see the light (unless you're in ADOM)
Most successful combos for me: Grey elf wizards, trollish healers, dark elf beast-fighters, Gnomey monks, and any race barbarians.
You have to play an instrument and have a decent Music skill
score to obtain a new pet; the pet can be almost any animal.
Decent Music skill for a bard to tame I think is about 50, but
to tame a deadly animal you probably will want it at 100.

If you can't find any bats or rats, I don't know what the hell happened, since they are extremely common monsters. Apart from those, any animal can be tamed, including insects, but I don't know of a complete list either.
If you have found animals but can't seem to be able to tame them, you probably haven't tried hard enough. Some bards may start with low enough score in Music that they need to train it before it works reliably.
ADOM Guides - whatever you wanted to know about playing a certain class, but have been afraid to ask!
Check out my youtube channel to see my ADOM videos, including a completed playthrough of the game. I try to give instructions, so if you want to see some place you haven't been before and get some hints on how to deal with it, this might help! There's also some other games featured there that you might find interesting.
there is thing like min range of instrument.
From far away your music does not sound that clear, you know.
So far rolled 15 casters with RoDS and shamelessly killed them within 200 turns. For eternium glory!
(after 15 I stopped counting...)
Best pet to get early on are cave bears in the wilderness. Most lizards are decent pets too (lightning or chaos lizards are fun), and tarantulas can be handy (try using music a lot vs a spider factory or a werewolf for a laugh). If you have water breathing then the giant dragon turtles in the water dragon's lair are tremendous pets, though a little dangerous. The best animal to tame though is generally the killer or greater claw bugs in the bug temple, but taming them is tricky and deadly.
Also, you can read scrolls of familiar summoning in dangerous areas to get some cool pets (not limited to just animals).

Bats and rats can be tamed. You may need to use your instrument several times before it sticks (there may be some level dependence too... I've found taming monsters in the SMC extraordinarily hard, for example).
Any animal can be tamed, these include:
All (a) ants
All (b) bees
All (c) centipedes except shadow
All (d) dogs except hell hounds (but including blink dogs).
All (f) cats (except, of course, the cat lord)
All (i) insects, including greater claw and killer bugs
All (l) lizards except chaos and (maybe) karmic
Rats and giant rats (r)
All (s) snakes except stone, chaos, and from Beyond
All (w) worms
All (A) water creatures (some are very hard to tame)
All (B) bats except ghost
Giant boars (F), and possibly a few other beasts
All (N) bears
All (S) spiders except chaos
I think that's all of them.
