They are flufffy rats.
And they were raised indoors (in Incan times in Peru) as a food staple. I saw a neat show on TV where the archaeologists were talking about how some parts of houses in Incan architecture were designed with guinea pigs in mind. (like with double doors so the piggies couldn't get out) The archaeologists also sampled the current methods of cooking guinea pig.... I'll never get the image out of my head of this one chickie in her fancy mountaineering clothes, munchin' on a guinea pig and exclaiming over how tasty it was.
