Rodents

It started with a bacteria. This bacteria got into parasites, which got into rats and other small mammals. The reason rats were the main cause for the plague is because back then, people were used to having rats in their houses. and it was difficult to rid of them.

Bacteria > Parasite > Animal > Human.

It is common misconception that rats caused the plague, which they did not, many other animals carried the flea, but weren't around any humans to spread it. It is also a misconception that rats did not die from the plague, which they did.

Rodents are the ones who have large front theeth.

The skunk is not a rodent. They belong to the family Mephitidae and the order Carnivora which does not include rodentia. They are sometimes placed in the family Mustelidae (weasels) but have been discovered to be less related than was thought. They are sometimes called 'polecats' in deference to the fact that they look like a European polecat (Mustela putorius), which actually is a member of the Mustelidae family.

No! Mice are small shy quiet sneaky, But Rats are usaully outgoing Loud most nights they are sneaky, I've.always liked rodents Mice Rats Ferrats Hamsters I guess But Rats an Mice r my favs! Such Similar Bodies Two diffrent Lives! So ur answer is no Mice are not Rats.

Firstly, they should not live outside permanently. Secondly, they may need protection. Talk to your vet for more answers

yes, well I think it sais so in my science book.But stay away from them if you have them around your house.Just some freindly advice.They are deadly to some people.

A Tiger, A Cat, A Bear, A Horse.... Most animals are not considered rodents. See the link below for more information

An Agouti is a large guinea pig type of rodent which may live in burrows.

The Mayans were an ancient people that no longer exist.

The peccary is not a rodent, but a relative of the wild pig. They are native to the Americas. Wild pigs are not native to the Americas, but there well established populations of introduced feral hogs.

Yes. To know if it has heat stroke it won't eat or drink anything and won't move. It's poo will be wet. If it does have heat stroke you have to get it to drink someone water and milk if it doesn't take it then you have to do it yourself. Use a needle syringe to put it down it's throat. Bathe your guinea pig in cold water. Then once it starts getting better take it to a vet to check up on it.

Never! In the wild, gerbil take sand baths, it keeps their fur clean and fluffy. But I would not recommend actually giving them a bath. Gerbils are not big fans of water, and could easily drown. I you really want your gerbils to look nice though, buy them bath powder and put it in a container. It's adorable to watch them roll around in it! You could also brush them with an unused toothbrush.

The musky rat-kangaroo is the smallest member of the kangaroo family. Thus, it has long feet and extra strong tendons in his hind legs which give it the characteristic hopping movements of kangaroos whine moving quickly. It can move slowly also, and it will forage about on the rainforest floor on all fours, using its forelimbs to pull its body along.

most bats are harmless and eat fruit but they could be capeable. its very rare though.

I will answer after you learn the correct spelling of your question "in dangered" what the heck does that mean?

Well, yes, because that is what they do when they breed gerbils. You have to be cautious though, use the best proven method rather than just plopping two in a cage. This proven method is called the split cage method. Make a screen out of chickenwire and a wooden frame, in the tank or cage put it in the middle like a barrier. Have a gerbil on one side and the new one on the other side with all their neccessities. Trade handfuls of bedding every day for a week, they will be able to watch each other, smell each other, but not fight with each other through the fence. Beyond the seventh day you can remove the barrier but watch them closely and be cautious to make sure they do not fight. If those signs do show that they are about to fight then please separate them.

There is absolutely no way to tell the difference. When the frogs reach sexual maturity, the males will call for a mate and the females do not. That's about the only reliable way to tell with most species. A distress call is not a mating call, so holding the frog tightly is not an accurate way to determine the frog's sex. You just have to wait.

(The difference is, one's a boy & one's a girl-(sorry, couldn't resist this answer:)

Hawks are very important to us for several reasons. Hawks are carnivorous birds, so they're strong enough to catch their preys. Firstly, this is a long explanation about the pest control. Snakes and rodents are nasty pests because snakes can bite people, which some species can be venomous enough for some people to die. Rodents are also very bad because they can gnaw at people, invade our house and wreck stuffs, destroy farm crops which triggers some famine to people, and some rodents can carry some nasty diseases, which can trigger a plague like the European Black Death in the mid-13th century. However, the hawk these nasty animals, including the snakes and rodents, so that it can save people to reduce the risk of snakebites and rodent plagues. Hawks are part of the snakebite and rodent control because they usually prey on these small nasty animals. Secondly, this partially connects to the first reason point. Hawks are part of the food chain, just like other animals, and hawk is typically an apex predator. If the hawks went extinct, there would be a chaos to the food chain. The hawk usually eat snakes, rodents, small mammals, etc. for their food diet. The hawk eat these things everyday in order to control their prey population. If the hawks went extinct, their prey would overpopulate because there'll be nothing to hunt them down. The snake and rodent overpopulation is especially more terrible because it'll increase the vulnerable frequency of more snakebites and rodent plagues, in which people would be in a huge danger.

That's why we shouldn't hunt hawks into extinction, otherwise we'll all terribly affect ourselves at the end.

The correct name for the "brush tailed rat-kangaroo" is the Brush tailed Bettong, as the bettong is a type of rat-kangaroo. Also known as the woylie, this animal is a native marsupial of Australia, Reasons for it being classed as endangered include competition with introduced grazing animals, habitat destruction, the spread of agricultural development, changed fire regimes with the loss of aboriginal habitation, and the introduced red fox and feral cats.

firt you have to tame your gerbil. for info on taming go to http://exoticpets.about.com/cs/gerbils/a/gerbiltame.htm. I have two very tamed gerbils that dont jump out of your hand! and this website helped me alot!!!

Smaller mammals may have many litters or births in a year. Generally the larger mammals get, the longer gestation takes and also smaller numbers are born. Some mice may have 5-6 litters per year, each of 8-10 young, (potentially over 60 young in a year) whereas a horse or cow will normally only have one borth, one youngste per year.

Any desert living predator. In some areas it might even be the introduction of the domestic cat to the environment.

The average age of a pet pig, if kept at a good weight and healthy is 12 - 18 years.
