Rat or mouse? Pip warning

[firelight1210]

We found this bugger at work yesterday afternoon, and now are arguing if it's a rat or a mouse. What say you, ML?

mouse?

[pandora89]

I would say mouse.

I'd say large mouse. Something about the ears.

[TR]

That rat's ears look freakishly human.

[firelight1210]

Thank you! Vindicated, lol

[firelight1210]

I actually find him quite adorable. We've contained him in an office and are waiting on corporate services to handle it. I hope they won't kill him.

Mouse. Ears are too big and the tail is too thin.

[sunshineandpinot]

mouse!

Brazen little mofo, huh?

Another vote for mouse.

In college DH and his roommates had a rat in their house...it was HUGE and so gross.

[agnes]

Totally a cute mouse.

[cuddlyevil]

It's a mouse.

[nicbreeful]

Aw.. he's cute.

We came in this morning, and I can't see him in the office. My manager was worried that he would squeeze out under the door, so she taped up the crack. And then worried if he'd have enough oxygen, lol.

He's a mouse. Rat tails are much thicker even on small rats (we have pet dumbo rats that look more mouse like).

Based on having both rats and mice recently, I will say that is a large mouse. And for the record, wild rats are fucking disgusting. The mice were ok.

Sooo, update. Pest control says it's a "juvenile rat". I'm like, soooo... he's a teenager? Lol.

He says he needs back up to get him out, so we're still keeping that door locked. That office is for our mortgage loan officer, and he's like "I'm not coming back to your branch, lol".
