Yes, as they have sweat glands. However... smaller body means they don't overheat as much as we higher mammals do... But yes, they do sweat. Dogs also have sweat glands too, I believe [i haven't checked that yet, so don't quote me there], they just don't use them, their minds being wired up to pant, which is a good survival strategy, as an open mouth is an easier one to quickly bite something with later..

However, all of this is conjecture other than rodents having sweat glands. I know that because my hamster had some problems with his before he died... apparently he was getting really badly blocked pores and his sweat glands messed up or something... I dunno, I was terrified of the rodent after he bit me once, so when he died, i don't think i was that sad about it.
