Rodents
All rodents have one upper jaw and one lower jaw set of two continuously growing front teeth that must be worn down by gnawing. The order's smallest members are the 2.4 inch/6 centimeter African pygmy mouse and Baluchistan pygmy jerboa. Questions typically refer to the order's laboratory contributions to scientific advances, important representatives, geographic ranges, and environmental roles in seed dispersion and soil food web life.

Can an angora rabbit go into depression?
Yes, they can. Get them to a vet.
WillowArcane here Realistically, unless the problem is medically-caused, the vet can do little to help you. What you need to do is make sure that if it's an outdoor animal to give it plenty of chances to socialize with you. If it is indoors, again, make sure not to ignore it. Ensure the cage is large enough to stretch out in and jump around, is clean, warm and comfortable, and that enough toys have been provided. Rabbits can become easily bored, which can lead to the depression. If possibly, allow it out of the cage each day to run around and play. A social rabbit is a heathy rabbit!

How a rodent teeth adapted to a gnawing habit?
Most mammals have teeth that cannot grow back or repair when they are damaged. Mammals that gnaw on things experience a lot of wear and tear on those teeth. Eventually the teeth are so worn down they are useless, and the animal can starve. Rodents evolved to have front teeth that grow constantly. For them, gnawing on things just prevents the tooth from growing too long.

How long does a guinea pig live with cancer?
Hi. A guinea pig having cancer is a rare thing! But yes they can catch it. My guinea pig has it and was meant to die of it in January 2012. But right now it is 2013 which means she has been keeping strong. I think it really depends on how bad the cancer is and how strong the guinea pig is. I think they last around two months tops but if your lucky like I was then over a year hopefully.but I think only a well trained vet can tell. Good luck anyway
