From the CDC by way of Wikipedia, regarding rabies (emphasis mine):
"Small rodents such as squirrels, hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, chipmunks, rats, and mice and lagomorphs like rabbits and hares are almost never found to be infected with rabies and are not known to transmit rabies to humans."
...orly?
(nope, still not telling... yet. Hee hee hee)

That reminds me, I've got a family of squirrels building a nest in the big tree outside my house. I should probably put peanut butter on the list...just for kicks. :)
