I didn't keep it myself - but we didn't leave it there! ;)
 
I certainly would have kept it.

Sadly I fear he would have got into hot water had he tried to do so.
 
Presumably this would be a CITES species? In which case it would have been illegal to import even if the Ethiopian officials allowed him to keep it.

It's not CITES-listed, almost no rodents are: Appendices | CITES

As to where it is now, I couldn't say - I last saw it in Ethiopia!
