What is you favourite Rodent?

This is a question that has been plaguing me for a while, and I have been wondering what rodents redditors favour and if there are any especiall favourites we can all agree on.

My personal favourite is the Chipmunk! Have you SEEN those motherfuckers?! They are so goddam CUTE! They are kinda like pretty mice, with lovely brown and white stripes on their back. They keep large burrows, considering the size of rodent they are, and eat all sorts of mushrooms! Can you think of ANY other creature aside from badgers offhand that does that? They fucking propagate the growth of truffles!

Anyways, thats why I like chipmunks. Tell us your favourites!

This one is so cute! Its a Texas kangaroo rat. I love kangaroos, so I a little rodent sized kangaroo is just what I would want.

I've actually wanted one as a pet before.

Personally, I prefer the nutria.

As for why? Well, if memory serves, they were referred to as "Rodents of Unusual Size" in The Princess Bride.

I found that unaccountably hilarious for some reason.

Also, nutria apparently make good eatin'. So there you are.

Damn, your right, they seem pretty cool. I did not know there were other such things besides the capybara.
