This might be the cutest little rodent ever. Have you ever heard of a stoat? I hadn't until recently, but these little, short-tailed weasels might be the cutest creatures in the world.
In this video, an orphaned four-month-old stoat plays around after being rescued. This guy is so full of energy as he runs around the bed and plays. He even seems to enjoy getting tickled by his caretaker, Andrew Gray.
The zoologist from Manchester University hand-reared the stoat after he'd been left for dead and abandoned in the wild. I think it's safe to say this little guy is doing great today and is getting plenty of love from his new human family!
While we wouldn't recommend trying to hand-raise an animal like this unless you're a professional, we are glad there are people out there who dedicate their daily lives to even the smallest of creatures!
