| | | Mouse or Baby Rats ? (again) :) Hi folks,
You guys have been a great help in the past helping identify what is what in our garden,
Could someone tell me if these are baby rats or just little field mice, they come and go all day under our bird feeders, the fields around us having just been ploughed I guess they might be some of poor wee field mice who's home has been destroyed
Not very clear pictures I know but they're tiny! You could sit one on a 10p piece if that size gives any clues,
thanks    |

| | | Re: Mouse or Baby Rats ? (again) :) I'm no expert, but it looks like a house mouse to me. That said, its tail's a bit thick... |

| | | Re: Mouse or Baby Rats ? (again) :) It's not a field/wood mouse, I'm pretty sure of that.
I don't think the nose is pointy enough for a rat.
