Chewing capabilities of rodents What exactly are rodents?

A family of mammals which are characterised by their significant continuous growing incisors (sharp teeth used for cutting) in their upper and lower jaws are called rodents. Rodents consist of; mice, rats, squirrels, chipmunks, porcupines, beavers, hamsters, guinea pigs, etc. Rodents are the most successful mammals. About 40% of mammals are rodents.

Their speciality

The word ‘rodent’ means ‘to chew’. This species of mammals is well known for their chewing capabilities, which mainly refers to stealing human resources such as food, shelter and health.

They have continuously growing incisors, each on the lower and upper jaws which help them to cut and chew hard materials and food. Their incisors keep growing forever and for this reason, need to keep chewing on things to wear down its teeth. These incisors have a thick layer of enamels on the front and the back. If they didn’t chew, their teeth would grow continuously making it impossible to close their mouths which would eventually get themselves killed.

What can they chew on?

We all are well aware of the nuisances that most rodents such as rats and mice cause by chewing through many of our valuable resources and posing a threat to our security by entering through walls and doors and leaving a hole behind.

Rodents can and will chew on anything that is not harder, and that would not hurt their teeth. Their strong teeth make it possible for them to chew on most of the material present around us such as:

-Plastic (water pipes can get damaged)
-Brick (that means walls and buildings)
-Wood (threat to trees and nature)
-Cement (which means houses as well)
-Lead (can eat batteries and metals which might be dangerous)
-Aluminium
-Food (human resources)

The threats they impose on us

Because of their excessive chewing to keep their teeth maintained and their tummies full, they one way or another impose a threat upon humans. Here are some threats that rats and rodents can have on us:

Dirty food

We have always tried to keep rats at a distance since they steal, eat, and make our foods unclean. They can impure our foods which can result in serious diseases and issues.

Health concerns

Every year, countless children and adults get bit by rats, and many of them unfortunately die. This is a major threat and concern to consider. Due to this reason, people are even scared of them. Other than this, the foods they corrupt also have an impact on human health.

Safety issues

Rodents which sneak in houses, offices and buildings can cause serious damage. Unknowingly, they can chew on wires which might cause short-circuiting and house fires.

Annoying noise

The constant voice of rats gnawing their teeth can be quite annoying.
