Rodents

Yes. Herbivores are animals that eat only plants. Lemmings are actually thought to be omnivore. In times of food stress they will be cannibalistic. While they prefer tender shoots of grass and vegetation they have also been observed eating slugs,snails and other meats.

It usually means it is scared or uncomfortable. My piggie does it whenever my dog is near. It seems to do it if it senses the presence of something big.

Voles are small rodents that resemble a mouse but are stouter in body. They are mostly herbivores and can live on almost any nut or fruit.

The jumping rat, jerboa, and gerbil are three of the most well known ones.

Actually, snakes are quite opportunistic and will eat carcasses they find in the wild! In captivity, it can be hard to get them to take dead prey, but with persistence and creativity they can successfully be switched. Live, warm prey is just a lot more tantalizing than dead cold prey, especially when your food is being handed to you regularly.

No, guinea pigs CANNOT eat fish, they are vegetarians and fish could make them sick and/or kill them

No because they can choke on them and they can not eat sugar.

Weasels are not a type of rodent. They are small, carnivorous mammals. Although they resemble rodents in appearance, they actually hunt rodents for food.

Chinchillas should never get wet. Due to the denseness of the fur, the fur will not dry. The wet fur will fall out if it is wet for too long leaving the chinchilla exposed to the elements as minor as they are for us they are major elements to them. If your chinchilla gets wet towel dry him the best you can and then use a hair dryer to finish the job. Make sure the heat is set on low. Be aware that the hair dryer might scare your chinchilla.

One more thing i am aware of , ive also hear that chinchillas do over heat esaly , so yeah make sure you blow dry your chinchilla very carefully , not hot not cold but warm , and make sure its not to lowed so your chinchilla wont get scared :) - kmf

yes

I've kept and bred gerbils for nearly 40 years. They do not purr. The previous answer stated they have vibrations. Gerbils are prone to seizures and tremors although this genetic anomaly has mostly been bred out. It's helpful to think of yourself as a giant amusement park ride to a gerbil. When you go on one it upsets your sense of balance and you get really nervous and nauseous. Gerbils are small and sometimes being carried or handled has the same startling effect.

In the winter lemmings fur turn white to protect its self from snowy owls and other predators.

The Agouti. They are in Rainforests in Mexico, Central America, and Northern South America. They live 13-20 years and there are 13 different species. To see a picture and read more, go to http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/mammals/rodent/Agoutiprintout.shtml

No, a Hippopotamus is a mammal, it gives birth to live young. A hippopotamus is not classified as a marsupial.

Rabbit, mouse, beaver apparently all rodents

True possums - those that are found in Australia and nearby islands - are divided into three families. These families are: the ringtail possums and gliders (Family Petauridae); the brushtail possums and cuscuses (Family Phalangeridae) and the pygmy possums and feathertail glider (Family Burramyidae).

Guinea pigs that don't eat could indicate a problem with their teeth. A guinea pig's teeth constantly grow throughout their entire lives and if they do not have access to hard foods to nibble on their teeth will overgrow.

It is easy to check the front teeth (the incisors). A guinea pig with over grown teeth will need to be taken to a rodent friendly vet or rodentologist that can trim the teeth without using anesthetic. Guinea pigs have no nerve endings in their teeth so having them trimmed doesn't hurt them.

The Guinea Pig Care 4 Kids program has everything a child (and adult) will ever need to know about caring for their guinea pig.

All species of kangaroos have two large hind legs and two smaller forelegs.

more than enough if you know what i mean:) ;)

No they are like dogs.

Porcupines do not intentionally hurt people.

Like any wild animal, they have their own ways of self defense. When porcupines feel threatened they flex their body which makes sharp "needle-like" thorns stand up on their backside. This is a sign to GET AWAY. If the threat continues the porcupine will defend itself. You can actually pet porcupine *if tamed* but you should always go with the needles never against them *ouch*

Here only a few of them are listed. The Order Rodentia comprises of more than 2,000 species which are subdivided into three distinct types and thirty families. Capromyidae, Castoridae, Crictidae, Erethizontidae, Muridae, Sciuridae and Zapodidae are some of the most common families.

Muridae is the largest, containing nearly two-thirds of all rodent species. Eg: sand rats, gerbils, crested rats, old world rats and mice.

Cricetidae is the second largest, and has approximately 600 species. Eg: mouse-like hamsters such as gerbils, crested rats, white-tailed rats and door mice.

Sciruridae family has fewer than 100 species. But the species belonging to this family are some of the most commonly recognized rodents. Eg: Squirrels, flying squirrels, chipmunks, marmots and woodchucks.

Other beavers.

Outside of that, the closest living relatives would be pocket gophers and kangaroo rats.
