Well, here in Argentina they are eaten by birds of prey (eagles and such) and large carnivores such as cougars. \nOf course, when speaking of "natural enemies" we all tend to think of predators. But we all have other, smaller natural enemies: parasites (ticks, lice, worms) and diseases (rabies, hantavirus, etc).

I posted a link below that will give you some information on Sea Monkeys. I know they are a lot smaller than you expect at first anyway. Neat thing for kids to do.

Yes. In addition to their large evergrowing incisors (the tusks), they have massive molars with a crushing surface that looks like one of those old washing tables. They have 6 upper and 6 lower molariforms on each side, but only 2 of them are functioning at a given time. The others are inside the alveoli in the skull and jaw bone and come out after the first ones get completely worn. They don't have more than those 6 replacements, so when their last molars are worn, they cannot grind food (old elephants in zoos need a special soft diet).\n\nHere's a photograph showing the crushing surface of the molar teeth:\nhttp://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/resources/skulls/loxodonta/l._africana/163809.tooth.jpg/view.html\n\nAnd a frontal view of the skull with the incisors:\nhttp://www.dundee.ac.uk/museum/zoology/bagful/1971A.JPG

A number of birds will follow driver ants and feed on them and what they stir up.  Perhaps the always common greenbuls and bulbuls.  I expect that agamas would be happy to eat them also.  Certainly several amphibian species.  As mentioned above, many mammals would probably feed on them if given the chance.  I suspect shrews and brush-furred mice should be added to the chimps and mongosses listed above.\n\nNote: anteaters are South American and aardvarks largely specialize on termites.

All animals that have mammary glands to produce and feed their young ones with MILK are mammals. So Rodents like rats,mice and bandicoots are all mammals.BUT all mammals are not rodents. Lions and Elephants ARE mammals but they are NOT rodents.All human beings are mammals.But are they rodents? The last example will clear any doubt in your mind.\nRodents have their own peculiarities, which set them apart from other mammals.\nThey have burrowing habits, the front teeth or the incisors are longer than the others, sharp and pointed. They continue to grow for long. Therefore. The animal must constantly ‘GNAW’ at something to keep them trim and sharp.\n Besides the examples quoted above; the others in the category of rodents are rabbits, hares, squirrels and otters. They all come under class- Mammalia and order-Rodentia.

There is a floating food that you can purchase at any pet store but they will ofcourse eat bugs.\n\nThey mainly eat algae and the smaller roots off of plants.

They can have salmonella. My husband's brother caught it when he was little from a box turtle and almost died.\n\nWash your hands with soap and warm water thoroughly.\n\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/healthypets/animals/reptiles.htm\nhttp://www.idsociety.org/Template.cfm?Section=Home&CONTENTID=13133&TEMPLATE=/ContentManagement/ContentDisplay.cfm\nhttp://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?cls=17&cat=1796&articleid=623\n\nI do understand and support you not wanting your daughter to be afraid of the cool stuff in the yard or the outdoors in general. As a former tomboy (heck, what do I mean "former"), I had much joy catching and playing with frogs, bees, praying mantises, etc. Maybe you can carry some of that hand sanitizer (like Purell) in your jean's pocket? I keep some in my purse at all times. You just never know!

Of course - they are mammals!  This site refers to relevant issues for reference:\n\nhttp://www.hedgehogworld.com/content/view/26/42/

Koalas don't eat anything but eucalyptus leaves. And things that make some animals "high" have no effect on other animals. I doubt if you get all crazy when you sniff catnip.
