Top Ten Coolest Rodents
The guinea pig, also called the cavy or domestic guinea pig, is a species of rodent belonging to the family Caviidae and the genus Cavia. My Guinea pigs are named Pretzel and Pumpkin they are both males, they fight a lot, but they are beautiful Pumpkin is a short-hared calico and Pretzel is a cinder/brown/cream long-haired Peruvian. I love them and they are better than hamsters because they live longer, are more cuddly, come in more colors, they can be trained to squeak for food, and can be trained like a dog if spent enough time.
My young guinea is a con artist, but he learned how to climb onto my lap. He steals food from my senior guinea too
I like Guinea Pigs because they help each other to pick up carrots and are fluffy
I have done so much research and if you get some get two or more
Hamsters are rodents belonging to the subfamily Cricetinae. The subfamily contains about 25 species, classified in six or seven genera. They Are One Of The Best Pets You Could Get.
Better the Guinea Rats!
My Favourite Animal!
Squirrels are members of the family Sciuridae, a family that includes small or medium-size rodents. The squirrel family includes tree squirrels, ground squirrels, chipmunks, marmots, flying squirrels, and prairie dogs amongst other rodents. Can run 18 mph, climb trees faster than you can whistle, very intelligent, and can even swim. What else would you want from a cool rodent like this?
The beaver is a primarily nocturnal, large, semiaquatic rodent. Castor includes two extant species, the North American beaver and Eurasian beaver. Beavers are known for building dams, canals, and lodges. way better than guinea pigs
A mouse is a small rodent characteristically having a pointed snout, small rounded ears, a body-length scaly tail and a high breeding rate. The best known mouse species is the common house mouse. It is also a popular pet. Mice are some of the cutest animals ever.
Chinchillas are two species of crepuscular rodents, slightly larger and more robust than ground squirrels. They are native to the Andes mountains in South America and live in colonies called "herds" at high elevations up to 4,270 m.
Chipmunks are small, striped rodents of the family Sciuridae. Chipmunks are found in North America, with the exception of the Siberian chipmunk which is found primarily in Asia.
Rats are various medium-sized, long-tailed rodents of the superfamily Muroidea. "True rats" are members of the genus Rattus, the most important of which to humans are the black rat, Rattus rattus, and the brown rat, Rattus norvegicus. The coolest rodents around.
The capybara is the largest rodent in the world. It is a member of the genus Hydrochoerus, of which the only other extant member is the lesser capybara. Friend shaped
A gerbil is a small mammal of the order Rodentia. Once known simply as "desert rats", the gerbil subfamily includes about 110 species of African, Indian, and Asian rodents, including sand rats and jirds, all of which are adapted to arid habitats.
That is, one of the cutest animals I've ever seen.
The ferret is the domesticated form of the European polecat, a mammal belonging to the same genus as the weasel, Mustela of the family Mustelidae. Ferrets are not rodents. They are more closely related to things like wolves and bears than they are rodents.
better than guinea pigs
Porcupines are rodentian mammals with a coat of sharp spines, or quills, that protect against predators.
Despite the name, they are not canines. Prairie dogs (genus Cynomys) are herbivorous burrowing rodents native to the grasslands of North America. The five species are: black-tailed, white-tailed, Gunnison's, Utah, and Mexican prairie dogs. They are a type of ground squirrel, found in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Very cute and smart
The groundhog, also known as a woodchuck, is a rodent of the family Sciuridae, belonging to the group of large ground squirrels known as marmots. It was first scientifically described by Carl Linnaeus in 1758. Heck, there's even a holiday after them.
