Not a rodent, but still badass-looking.

It might have to be to fend off those capybara-sized grasshopper mice.

Saw this guy getting drenched in the rain today.

That looks like an opossum. They're actually marsupials, believe it or not.

My dog caught a mom with some babies recently. We managed to take them to animal control, fortunately.

Anons, I want to get a pet rat. I have absolutely nothing. What should i get? And should I get a pair or rats, considering I work all day?

>>2406402
A cage on craigslist.
And these are 15 hour a day things, so don't do it unless you're disabled. You'll get a chance later in life.

What happened to that stab rabbit? Is it coming back from a rave.

Is anyone sure that's even a lemming, and not a species of miniature badger?

>>2406699
Rodents can get surprisingly brutal, as you also saw in the grasshopper mouse video.

I was trying without success to find this one forum thread about pet mice and hamsters cannibalizing each other, like one instance where someone came home and saw her pet hamster seemingly buried up to the neck in sawdust and dazed. She poked it and it turned out to be just the head.

It's nothing but a threat display. Norway lemmings are just fakers.

The only marsupial to still exist outside of the Australias.

Starvation will drive any omnivore/carnivore to cannibalism.

These things are adorable. I wonder why someone hasn't tried domesticating them yet.

Hamsters will eat each other for fun. They don't have to be starving.

>>2408520
They already "domesticated" hamsters. Why bother doing lemmings when they're basically the exact same thing?

Damn.

And then you go straight into the dawwwwww.

I'm going Rat Shopping today. Looking into getting a pair of female fancy rats. Any hot opinions on coat/color styles?

>>2406699
>norway lemmings known to kill weasels
BBC is just pulling madeup bullshit out of their ass now? Weasels can kill shit twice their size and Norway Lemmings mostly just bluff. what a load

>>2410266
Predators aren't successful one hundred percent of the time. They lose more prey than they catch on average. And they are injured by their prey on a regular basis. For instance, zebra can disembowel a full grown african lion with a single kick to the proper place.

>>2410376
search 'lemming kills weasel' and you wont find a single result
thats straight up false information

>>2409092
Even the hamsters are badass in Russia.

And supposedly the beavers are even worse next door in Belarus.

LOL, I bet you think prairie dogs never kill wild ferrets either, don't you?

One of my rats doesn't let me pick her up anymore. She's as curious as another, but if I shove my hand into the cage, she will try to dodge it and run around cage to not get picked up. If I manage to grab her, she'll slip away. I can only pick her up if I leave the cage open and wait until she's out, then she won't resist.

Any way I could re-establish the contact with her? Could it be that she's sick and hurting or something?
