There isn't a single, universal term for female rodents. The term "female" is generally used to refer to a female rodent, but specific terms can vary depending on the species and context.
Examples
- Doe: Used for female rabbits.
- Sow: Used for female pigs, but sometimes also used for female rats.
- Queen: Used for female hamsters and gerbils.
- Dam: Often used as a general term for the mother of a litter, regardless of species.
- Female: The most general and widely understood term.
The best way to determine the specific term used for a female rodent is to refer to the species in question. For example, you would refer to a female mouse as a "female mouse," not a "doe" or a "sow."
