That's really interesting. I wonder why it needed the 3D vision or if the change to the scull was just a weird side-effect of getting smaller. Could that be?

Well, the eyes are usually at thr side of the head to allow a greater field of vision. This allows prey animals to notice predators earlier.
With no predators present, there was no evolutionary need for this. 3D vision has certain advantages. As it seems enough advantages to be preferred by natural selection.
Or perhaps, it was the predator itself and it wears down its rodent-like teeth on the carcasses and bones of its prey.
To quote Tim the Enchanter: That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!
Look, that rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide! It's a killer!

That is the quote, Tim the Enchanter should never be paraphrased.
lol :D
