Yes rats do burp. actually they do. i believe that rats burp Rats do burp. I've seen and smelled it.
Yes, that is true. They lack the ability to burp, which means you have to be careful what you feed them.
Yes they do. I know my pet rat does!
Rats communicate in various ways, including scent marking using urine. So female rats will attract males. Also, a good home for rats will attract more rats. Many people will say that if there are rats, there are seldom mice in the same place - which is true to a point - rats will eat mice.
Yes, cat will hunt, catch, and eat mice and rats.
No. Like rats, they are rodents, but they exist in a separate family from them. Rats belong to Muridae, the family for True Mice and Rats. Kangaroo Rats belong to the Heteromydae family, which they share with pocket mice. They differ to rats in that they hop, and have cheek pouches for food storage.
Yes, it is true. House mice would not be used to finding food and water themselves and the wild rats might kill them for their food.
Yes
While it's true that rats can't burp, coke will not kill them, because they can still fart. As far as I know it's nothing more than a myth. If you want to use coke, which rats love by the way, to kill them, just leave coke with rat poison. It works every time.
I don't know. However I have heard that rats will kill mice and perhaps eat them. Hence, in that sense, I suppose that rats do like mice - if it is true that they will eat baby mice.
Muskrats are members of the Muroidea superfamily, along with many other rodents, including most mice and rats, and are part of the Cricetidae family, which includes hamsters, lemmings, pack rats, and many others. They are not "true rats" in the sense that they do not belong to the genus Rattus.
No. Both animals belong to the rodent order. Rats belong to the rat and mouse family, Muridae. Hamsters belong to the hamster family Cricetidae. There are several genera of rodents called 'New World Rats and Mice'. They are not true rats or mice, in the same way that a starfish is not a fish. They do belong to the hamster family, and resemble voles more than rats.
"Rat" is not very specific, but no, they're not. The true rats are murids (Latin for "mouse-like"), with their closest relatives being mice (duh, given the name "murid") and other true rats, followed by gerbils and voles and hamsters. Beavers are castorimorphs (Latin for "beaver-shaped" ... you know, a lot of these Latin names sound kind of silly when you translate them), most closely related to gophers and kangaroo rats (which are not "true" rats ... this is why we said that "rat" was not very specific; any medium-sized rodent is fairly likely to have the word "rat" in at least one of its common names), and fairly closely related to the sciurids (squirrels).
True
The term, mice, is the plural form of mouse. The word, mouse, is derived from the original Sanskrit word, mus, which is still used today in classification. It meant thief or robber: a most fitting name for these tiny creatures.
