Bisc 350 Review[edit]

Good job editing this article. I think it would help the readers of this article if you had an updated section on the breeding/reproduction/litter size/etc. of this particular species of rat. Other than that I enjoyed the updates to this article. -LaurenLwleiden (talk) 03:40, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think you did a good job editing the Maned Rat page. You provided sufficient information for the average reader curious with the Maned Rat. Jeaku (talk) 12:05, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"corrected 'poisonous' to 'venomous'" edit[edit]

This one is actually poisonous and not venomous. It sequesters toxins and doesn't produce venom
