actually just do a quick search on it, rabbits are not rodents, they are lagomorphs. I am sure they can be trained to hold things with their paws, just as dogs can be trained to walk on their hind legs.

Seems as if we are splitting hairs here (not to be confused with hares). If you want to go by dictionary definition, then...

RABBITS
Any of various plant-eating mammals having two pairs of upper incisors and belonging to the order Lagomorpha, which includes the rabbits, hares, and pikas.

RODENTS
Any of various mammals of the order Rodentia, such as a mouse, rat, squirrel, or beaver, characterized by large incisors adapted for gnawing or nibbling

Rats can hop, rabbits can walk, and both of them can hold things in their front paws. The difference? One set or two of their large incisors.

If you want to eat a rat, just use common sense. Prepare it like you would any other fresh kill, add your favorite sauce or spices, and enjoy!

Is beaver a rodent?

On that note I say if it's a mammal, it can be eaten. I don't know of any furry critters that are poisonous, but if there is, I am sure some scientist will sort me out.

Great thread, in a not so serious way. Just don’t bring up eating snakes or you will be in trouble!!

Firtst then then >( and in the end :grab:

Furry critters? How about mammals in general?
Only five mammals are poisonous. The most poisonous is the Australian platypus, less so are two types of shrews (the Blarina and Neomys species) and two types of the rare shrew-like solendons. Only the platypus male is known to be venomous, not the femlaes. Adult males have a pointed spur (about 15 millimetres long) located just above the heel of each hind leg, which can be used to inject poison produced by a gland in the thigh (the crural gland).

I was rather glad when this thread died a natural death last winter..... . ... now it's back.
It must be true - forum posts are life forms, from the same branch of the Tree of Life as cats, they both have 9 lives.

On the show killer instinct, the dude catches wild rat and cooks it and eats it. You cook it with its skin. When cooked for a minute you scrap off all the hair, and then cook it some more.

What about an echidna dude? I'm pretty sure those are poisonous too... kinda off subject but oh well....

Echidnas aren't poisonous. The only poisonous Aussie mammal (monotreme in this case, a primitive mammal) is the platypus.
Echidnas roll into a ball and rely on their spines for defense, no poison needed.
