Is this a mouse or a rat?

[Hohofortherobbers]

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

It’s a juvenile rat, by the size of it.

Field mouse. I live next to woodland and we see them all the time. They do look like baby rats but they’re mice. You can tell by the tail.

It’s a rat - they like sheds and wooden decking.

What does that Google look up, circle to search thing or Apple information thing say which you can look up things on photos, if you have any of those

Yep. A rat. A small/young one, but a rat nonetheless 🐀

Definitely a rat. Too big for a mouse,they are absolutely tiny. Plus the long thick tail,mice have shorter tails that are skinny.

It's a young rat looks about the same size as my 3 month old babies. Very cute.

That's a rat!

It's a rat. Youngster I think.

That's a young rat.

Mouse. They can get pretty big where I live. If it's a rat there's no doubt.

It's a mouse. Rats are a LOT bigger (they can be the size of a kitten)

But rats start as babies and look exactly like the OP's photo.

Baby rat

I'm certain it's a baby rat. My cat is presenting me with bits of them every day at the moment (we're in the countryside)

That’s a baby rat.

it’s unusual it’s out during daylight hours, it must be starving.

Young rat🐀

Young rat. Quite cute but wouldn’t want it in my garden.

Mice are smaller though!

Mice are tiny that’s definitely a rat eugh absolutely hate them

Mouse. Rats are much bigger.

It's a baby rat

The reason I mentioned the apple was for scale.

A mouse would be about half the size of an apple.

Especially with the second photo (mahoosive paws), that is baby Ratty McRatface 🐀

@everythingthelighttouches baby ratty McRatface made me laugh.

I agree it’s a baby rat and there will be more. They like living under sheds.

It’s a young rat, and there will likely be more of them knocking about as rat litters can be big.
