What could be cuter than a squirrel eating penne? A hamster eating ramen? A guinea pig eating mostaccioli? A hamster eating macaroni and cheese? A chipmunk eating noodles? The adorable hamster enjoying spaghetti here is named Lupin. See the rest of the collection at Environmental Graffiti. Link

The rodents of the future will eat poison pellets like candy, according to new research conducted on mice found in a German bakery. The baker called in an exterminator to rid his business of the pests and discovered, to his horror, that the little buggers weren’t even fazed by bromadiolone, which is a very concentrated and deadly version of the common rat poison warfarin. This defensive immunity comes from interbreeding with Algerian mice, which had already developed an immunity to the poison. Looks like these unwelcome visitors are determined to stick around, no matter what we throw at them!

Life in the Fast Lanes has a funny account of the guinea pigs:
The Guinea Pig Games (GPG) Olympics have started with an amazing opening as rascally rodents display their dedication to their chosen sports. In the struggle for survival, only the fittest win out at the expense of their rivals with their stamina, prowess, and incredible feats to win gold, silver, and bronze medals.
