[rodentcompetition]

I know I made this bracket with a few of my fave snakes in mind so I'm curious if you have a personal top rodent list? Also since I love learning neat facts about animals what makes your favorite rodent(s) so cool??

I must admit I don't know that many things. There's so many of the little creatures and I'm mostly aware of ones that live nearby heh. But I'm planning to learn so much more with this competition! I already spent so much time going through various wikipedia pages, learning more about creatures I've never seen before :D Learned about chinchilla rats! And that there's over 150 species of voles! PACAS! They have spots and I decided I love them!! And I'm sure I'll find out about more creatures from submissions, I'm so excited!!

To actually try to answer your question, my favourites (for now? 👀) are rats ^^ They were the first rodents I got really interested in, started learning about wild species and genetics of fancy rats :D always love to learn about animals' fur colours and patterns 🥰

Rat catchers were the ones that started breeding fancy rats! During their job they caught rats that had slightly different colours, started breeding them and selling as pets! And now we have so many of different ones :D
