Is this a mouse or a rat?

Just seen this little fella under the shed, what do you think? Mouse or rat?

Rat, by the look of it.

I think it's a mouse but I'm no expert.

It looks quite small, and I think rats usually have longer tails.

Mouse. Rats are BIG.

Mouse.

I'd say rat.

Mouse. Rats are huge!

It's small but it looks like a rat, so maybe a baby rat 🐀

Baby rat.Mice are much smaller and that tail looks bald and ratty.

Baby rat?

Baby rat. With cats and living next to a field, I even know some varieties of field mice!

Mouse, how cute 😍

Agree!

Young rat

I also think it's a baby rat.

Too big for a mouse.
Juvenile rat.

Baby rat. Mice are much rounder.

Rat

I'd say mouse, from the rounded ears.

Too big for a mouse

Young rat. I had to stop feeding the birds, as they’d got overly confident like your chap.

That is 100% a rat

Young rat. Body is too thick/wrong shape for a mouse.. out in the day isn’t good 😬

Baby rat - v cute, but likely not what you want!

This is definitely a rat - a young one.

ugh, I hate rats!

@Hohofortherobbers big enough to be a rat!!
