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.

Why do rodents have a longer appendix then humans?
It depends what theory you wish to believe. Darwin suggests that our appendix is a by product of when we were herbivorous primates and it aided our digestion of vegetable matter. If this the case then rodents would have a larger appendix in order to digest their herbivorous diet.
The second theory would be that the appendix houses bacteria designed to fit gut infections so, if this is the case then perhaps rodents need greater concentrations of these bacteria due to the conditions with which they live.

Can you put lotion on your guinea pig?
a bath might help but if he has a scratch- you may not be able to see it it will cause him pain and distress Guinea pigs are prone to scurvy. They need their diets supplemented with Vitamin C. Although commercial food contains it, the vitamins added are not always fresh or enough. I brought my pig to the vet when he had a bad skin rash and even the vet was not aware of this and referred me to a veterinary dermatologist. Luckily, I did some research before I made the appointment and saved myself a LOT of money by simply giving my pigs a slice of orange once or twice a week. The rash disappeared almost immediately. If your pig is scratching a lot, this may be the problem. If not, it's still a healthy treat that they LOVE and they really do need the extra vitamin C. Good luck!
Why do lemmings commit suicide?
Lemmings are herbivores. When they reduce the availability of the grasses that they eat, they move on. The "overgrazing" is the result of their food supply no longer supporting their population. They look for other areas that have enough food to support them. The increase in their numbers attracts predators. Those animals help reduce the population of lemmings. There is no mass suicide run.
to shorten teeth if they didn't there teeth would just keep growing and become a pain for them that's way they gnaw almost all the time. because there teeth never stop growing.

Why are rabbits not in the rodent family?
No, a rabbit is not a rodent (i.e. Rodentiaorder). Rabbits are lagomorphs (i.e. Lagomorpha order, along with hares and pikas). More specifically, they're leporids (i.e. Leporidae family).
Rabbits are similar to rodents in that their teeth continue to grow throughout their lives; thus, rabbits, like pet rodents, need things to gnaw on to wear their teeth down. In the case of rabbits, they should have lots and lots of hay (for dental health, digestive health, and mental health!); other things that can help wear down their teeth include certain safe woods (like apple wood and willow wood -- untreated, no varnishes, paints, pesticides, etc).
Rabbits are unlike rodents in these ways:
- They have four incisor teeth in the upper jaw instead of two
- They're herbivores instead of omnivores
- The male genitalia has slight differences as well
Rabbits and hares were formerly classified in the order Rodentia (rodent) until 1912, when they were moved into a new order Lagomorpha. This order also includes pikas.

Bedouins eat a variety of food, consisting of grains and beans, assorted types of bread, and livestock (and no, as the previous answer said, they do not 'eat it raw'... the Bedouin people cook their meat over fires). I'm sure their diet is of a wider range, but this is all I can remember from my school studies at the moment.
How many times a day do guinea pigs eat?
