Why Do Rats Chew So Much?

The word "rodent" is from Latin "rodere" which means "to chew or gnaw," an appropriate descriptor for our little friends!

Rats' long incisors grow up to FIVE inches each year - they must chew constantly to keep their teeth ground down to a reasonable length, or their teeth would grow up through their jaw or lip.
