A gnawing herbivore is any herbivore that gnaws, such as many rodents like mice, rats, hamsters, and guinea pigs although there are a great deal more (and not all rodents, just the majority). They gnaw in most cases mainly because it wears down their front teeth as they never stop growing, so it is necessary for them to gnaw. Gnawing also helps when they're eating to chew the food, in this way it is an eating technique. When small gnawing herbivores gnaw on things in the household, it usually has a negative effect often making men yell something along the lines of: " Damn it all, Delilah! There's mice holes everywhere" when they sit down in their favorite armchair and they hear squeaks and pattering feet as the mice rush out from underneath it. Beavers are very popular gnawing herbivores, known for their cutting down trees using their teeth and creating that 2-spear effect commonly known to build their dams.
