We heard you like Silkys, so we put some Silkys in your Silky. #OzRodents

Rodent teeth are cool

I know there's a lot going on right now, but I think we all just need to sit back, relax, and watch a majestic native Australian rodent soar through the heavens (and into my phone).

Watch with 🔊 cos you're gonna want to hear the nibblin' #ozrodents #WildOz

14 smoky mice at our first site in the Vic range, including this little guy weighing only 35g 🐭 #wildoz #ozrodents

Who loves our native #OzRodents ? We do! Here is one of our favourites, the swamp rat (Rattus lutreolus). They are a 'new world endemic'.

Also commonly get people assuming that by 'native mice' I mean antechinus. This smoky mouse is a true rodent #notamarsupial #OzRodents

On #ThreatenedSpeciesDay spare a thought for the less charismatic threatened species. Many of our #OzRodents are struggling too. Heath mouse

Here’s a cute native Bush Rat being measured, to brighten your day. #ozrodents #wildoz

One of my favourite #ozrodents caught this week during monitoring. Considered Endangered in NSW, Bolam’s mice typically aren’t detected in appreciable numbers except after favourable rainfall. Long-term monitoring critical to understand population trends #wildoz #mallee

#fakegnus “Rodents are introduced pests”. Most Australians have never heard of the ~70 species of native #ozrodents , many of which are endemic and threatened with extinction. Plus, they are super cute! Just look at this smoky mouse (Photo: David Paul, Museums Victoria) #wildoz

We love our threatened species and are doing everything we can to make sure they are not threatened anymore. Remember on #ThreatenedSpeciesDay it's not just charismatic species that are threatened. Our #OzRodents are really struggling.

Went to release this Bolam’s mouse to the safety of some spiky spinifex. He decided that he would rather nom on the abundant grass seeds lying around. I kept an eye on him until he eventually ambled off into cover #wildoz #monitoring #mallee #southwestNSW #ozrodents

It's chilly out at the Arid Recovery reserve at the moment, but one of the perks of psyching yourself up to use the outdoor shower is having a greater stick-nest #rat sneak under the door for a drink! 🐭 #WildOz #mammalwatching #rodentoftheday #cute #threatenedspecies #OzRodents
