Hide a rodent (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

squirrel

I believe this is a double definition.

'hide' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'a rodent' is the second definition.
(squirrel is a kind of rodent)

(Other definitions for squirrel that I've seen before include "Arboreal creature" , "Nut hoarder" , "Red, grey, animal" , "Timmy Tiptoes, for example" , "Gnawing animal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
