Most rodents are herbivorous, feeding exclusively on plant material such as seeds, stems, leaves, flowers, and roots. Some are omnivorous and a few are predators. The field vole is a typical herbivorous rodent and feeds on grasses, herbs, root tubers, moss, and other vegetation, and gnaws on bark during the winter.

Rodents are divided into the following taxonomic groups:

  • Hystricognath rodents
  • Mouse-like rodents (Myomorpha) -
  • Scaly-tailed squirrels and springhares (Anomaluromorpha)
  • Squirrels-like rodents (Sciuromorpha)
