Greater bandicoot rat? They look big

that is correct!

The greater bandicoot rat or Indian bandicoot rat (Bandicota indica) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae found in Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. It can grow to about 27–29 cm without including the tail which can grow to 28 cm. Large, aggressive bandicoot rats erect their guard hairs on their backs and emit grunts when disturbed. If caged with other bandicoot rats, it is likely to fight to death within a few hours. They're so aggressive that sometimes dogs and cats are afraid of these bandicoot rat.

Dusky footed woodrat?

correct

Dusky-footed woodrats (Neotoma fuscipes) are found throughout California in a variety of different habitats, including chaparral, coastal sage scrub, oak and riparian woodlands. They are commonly called "packrats" or "trade rats" and build large, domed dens that can reach several feet in height. Coyotes and other predators will attempt to prey on these rodents by laying waste to the dens, but the sheer volume of material is usually dissuasive. If a predator attacks a woodrat's nest, the woodrat may take shelter in another nearby nest. Woodrats alert each other of nearby predators by rattling their tails.
