My mom says I can get a rabbit if i can prove to her that they are different enough from other rodents that they should be exempt from her ‘no reptiles, no rodents’ rule. Can anybody help me out?

You’re in luck! Rabbits are not rodents at all! They are Lagomorphs. Rodents only have two long front teeth in the front. Lagomorphs have four. They are pure vegetarians, but I hate to tell you that they have one necessary habit your mom may find weird. They redigest part of their droppings called the cecum. They have two types of droppings, the feces and the cecum. The cecum is eaten and this allows the animal to get the most from his diet.

They are quiet, kind, and easy to take care of.

There are different types of rodent. Rabbits are one of them. They are just different in size, shape, and have different habits then other rodents.

rabbits are not considered rodents, they are lagamorphs……..they have 4 incisor teeth rather than the 2 that rodents have!!!!
