hambone 949 Posted November 20, 2022 Report Share Posted November 20, 2022 I think young rat but it's hard to tell not knowing the size of the trap or the situation Quote Link to post

FLATTOP 4,155 Posted November 20, 2022 Report Share Posted November 20, 2022 I’ve had a similar situation with a Black Cat trap where it was a 100% rat then the same 100% mouse then i had one which looked like a mix between the two I reckoned juvenile rat the thing is most of the time their biggish and easily identified and your right that tail looks very ratty and so do the feet. 1 Quote Link to post

paulus 26 Posted November 21, 2022 Report Share Posted November 21, 2022 Mice have long thin tails covered in fine hairs. Rats have thick hairless tails as a general rule. Quote Link to post
