Is this a Field Mouse or a Brown Rat

[Dogghound]

Agree look at the pelage colour woodmouse.

its a woodmouse - my sister keeps pet rats and when they are only 5cm long they are practically new born, not like this.

[Non native]

The photos are not good enough to rule in or out Yellow necked mouse, which is a rather large mouse, worth considering. They are only present in the southern part of the UK so if you are up north probably not one.

A broken neck often has that effect (though I survived!)

Unfortunately

We bought humane traps which are supposed to trap the mouse inside, however, the mouse was only half in, so the trap locked its upper half in the trap and so it struggled to get away and went over the edge of the shelf, the trap was too big to go down so, i guess the mouse was sort of hung .
