You really need to check your facts and quite trying to scare
people because you have no idea what you are talking about.
Here is a quote/paste from the CDC site. It really wasn't that
hard to find.

What is the risk of rabies from squirrels, mice, rats, and
other rodents?

Small rodents (such as squirrels, rats, mice, hamsters, guinea
pigs, gerbils, and chipmunks, ) and lagomorphs (such as rabbits
and hares) are almost never found to be infected with rabies
and have not been known to cause rabies among humans in the
United States. Bites by these animals are usually not
considered a risk of rabies unless the animal was sick or
behaving in any unusual manner and rabies is widespread in your
area.
