Yes a capybara is the worlds largest rodent but a rabbit is part of the Lagomorph family. They are more closely related to horses than rodents

Re: What rodent do you have?

Shadow, Cleo & Bullseye are about 18 months old, Izzy is just over 9 months old, the reason we keep rats is because they are just brilliant

Re: What rodent do you have?

I have
1 rabbit called Stewie (as in family guy not the food stew!) he is 2 and 4 months old and i have him because i rescued him.

1 syrian hamster called Mr Chip he is 6 months old and i bought himbecause i saw him and fell in love with his fluffy long fur!

3 roborovski hamsters called milly, oliver and granville, they are about 6-7 months i believe thats not 100% though i have them because a lady i knew had a pair that she was told were 'boys' but bred so i took them off her hands so she was only left with her pair plus 3 or 4 more babies which her daughter was going to have.
