First of all, it depends on the rodent. What makes all rodents rodents is their teeth, which they can definitely use to defend themselves. Rodents also usually have claws on their feet that they can use, and many have excellent hearing and smell so that they can flee easily, plus many will pee, barf, or poop if it comes to it. Some rodents have specialized defenses for specialized predators, but those are fewer and farther between than the ones I have said already.
