Rascally Rodents!

Rodents have one of the largest families of all mammals and a wide variety of sizes. From a dog sized capybara down to the tiny pygmy mice, and many of them make great pets!
Zebra Mice!


Rodents - my favorite pet category
Rodents come in a great variety of sizes, colors and types, some of them making great pets with a little love and care. Those in bold are the rodents you will usually find in pet shops, although lately I've seen some of the odder ones make their way into the commercial limelight.
These families are all related, and I may have placed some critters in one family where they might actually belong in another.

Use the navigation to the left or for a more convenient listing by type of Rodent Mice, Hamsters, Rats, Jirds, etc. use the listings below.
