Subject: [Taxacom]  ID of this pet rodent species

> Dear Taxacomers
> 
> Sorry to bug you for the ID of this rodent (see the picture attached), which was brought to my lab by one of my students.
> It is dormice-like and said to be native to South America, but I don't think it's related to dormice according to my very limited knowledge about mammals.
> 
> If anyone could help to give some directions I would be very appreciated.
