Jimmy's Farm near Ipswich has welcomed the arrival of some of the cutest baby rodents on earth. 

Christmas Day saw the birth of several new capybara pups at the Wherstead attraction, which is run by celebrity TV personality Jimmy Doherty.

The capybaras at Jimmy's Farm are popular with those visiting, with the park offering a "captivating capybara" experience for those hoping to get a little closer to the rodents and even give them a little scratch. 

Just less than two weeks old, a video released by the wildlife park shows the two-week-old pups playing, snuggling up to their mum and munching on some food.

Jimmy's Farm started housing capybaras in 2018 when it took on three from Tropical Wings Zoo when it closed down.

This is the second litter of capybara pups of 2023, with the farm welcoming four babies in May.

Capybaras are mammal herbivores that have similarities to guinea pigs – albeit a lot larger, weighing up to 143 pounds and measuring nearly 5ft in length.

They are semi-aquatic and spend much of their life in the water, but it will take the pups a little while to dip their toes in the pond.
