Anybody know what this is? I thought rat but my wife says it's not.

Grateful for any answers.

Dunno looks like a rat to me, they farm the ones for eating don't they so they would be nice and plump

Coypu? Too big for a capybara. Some kind of rodent lookalike.  

From where I come from kids call them gerbils

Going by the expression on their little faces they died happy

Dinner?

Looks to me more to a bamboo rat than a rice field rat.

Looks like a boiled prairie dog. Just when you thought things couldn't get nastier.

Thanks for the replies. Ive tried some weird and wonderful food in Thailand but I turn my nose up at rodents. City rats, field rats and bamboo rats! [emoji4]

Squirrel  ?

Actually rats from out of the paddy taste really good.
