Known Abilities
Rodents are clever little mammals found in a wide variety of environments. They breathe air, have a carnivorous diet, and can see in the dark. Rodents are natural prey of many felines and snakes, who will attack them on sight, so novice consorts should be very careful with them.
NB: this category of empathic bond seems to include mice, rats, and hamsters, and is slightly different from and separate from squirrels, flying squirrels, and giant rodents.

Nemesys's new mouse bond Scratch Pad
You imagine what it would be like to have a deep bond with the black female mouse, and you feel a distinct echo from within her. You experience feelings of curiosity, eagerness, surreptitiousness, and versatility.
You approach the black female mouse calmly and deliberately. You reach out and blend the periphery of your perceptive and emotive sensitivities with a black female mouse's mind. The black female mouse walks to your side. You feel spiritually exhausted but deeply contented, as though you have been made more complete. You will now trust a black female mouse. The black female mouse is limned with a miniscule faintly shimmering black dweomer aura. You are now a first-degree specialist in cartography, escape, and intelligence analysis. [event logged] Your hair turns black.
