Does anyone know what this is.

Its not got a long enough nose for a shrew has it? And it looks fluffier than a vole.

Its teeny 3 or 4 cm maybe

Cant find a picture that quite fits.

Is it just a vole with a bad hair day?

Baby hedgehog?

Looks like a bank vole.

Has it got a tail? If not, then baby hedgehog is a possibility.

Hmm. Just googled. Maybe not hedgehog.

Don't know but it's very cute

Definitely not a hedgehog.

I'm not an expert but my best guess would be a juvenile field vole.

endofthelinefinally · 07/08/2022 22:17

I think bloodywhitecat has it.

Google images is a wonderful thing. I have learned so much from these threads on MN.
