Activation: Details relating to rod use vary from item to item. Unless noted otherwise, you must be holding a rod to use its abilities. See the individual descriptions for specifics.
I don't have a cite, but I'm pretty sure "holding" in PF means "in a prehensile appendage such as a hand" and excludes "in your mouth." That being the case, I wouldn't allow the hippo to use a rod at all, any more than they could use a sword.

This. Though I'd argue that going by the above-quoted text, prehensile enough to hold it without being able to actually wield a weapon is enough. That would allow, e.g., a vanara to use a metamagic rod with her tail.
Whether a tentacle is prehensile enough to hold an item is pretty much gonna be your fiat.

Good point. Ya I figure a tentacle is used to 'Grab' opponents and IRL tentacles have been known to open jars as seen on YouTube, that's good enough for me.
