The only rule is: no researching. Post your best guess in the comments. Reading other people’s answers before posting your own is optional but there will likely be at least one correct answer in there so you may want to post first and read second. I will post the answer in the comments later today.
Note: There are 3 individuals represented in these 2 photos but they are all the same kind of animal.

I don’t know. I’m stumped. All I can guess is, it looks like a caviomorph to me – that is, related to capybara – but not a capybara, not with that coat.

I’m guessing capybara, and the ones at the top are immature (like a fawn has spots).

Unlike most folks, I like rodents. I had many as pets when I was young. They’re like minature dogs with little hands & most are very acrobatic & entertaining.
