Acually Canadian heraldry often sees our favourite rodent - the
beaver. I think you will find the full panoply of beasts including
other rodents such as the rabbit used heraldically. Squirrels as such
have previously appeared in arms - but among all of the heraldic
beasts their contribution - through the fur vair has been vairy
significant!

Rabbits aren't rodents. They're Lagomorphs.

They were moved from the order Rodentia to Lagomorphia in 1912.

Thank you.
They are likely happier there. :)
