Mouse or Rat

Gazzmonkey

Hi all

Not sure if this is the right place for this but anyway..

What did I catch?

Sorry about crap photos

Edit: seems the other pics where too big

Hard to make out the scale. Rat I'd say. Mice are tiny.

Icelandicseige

Definitely a rat.

Good loser

Mouse. Pregnant?

Genghis Cant

What size is the trap? There's a small and a big one of those. I think the big ones that I've seen had a serrated edge on it. So if that's a small trap I'd go for Mouse.

Gazzmonkey

A bit better for scale maybe

Gazzmonkey

The trap is about four inches long maybe two inch wide

cj maxx

if he has a long tail he's a rat., but id guess its a mouse

Mooooo

Rat I'd say, if it's in place in a run they use put the trap back in. Caught 5 young rats in the space of 20 mins a couple if years back, those traps hardly manage the fully grown ones,

Fuzzy Clam

Looks about the same size at the mice I caught recently.

This debate could break the internet

It's a short tailed squirrel, extremely dangerous if cornered.

adne

Its an endangered mouse. You could find your self in trouble from the law!!

Sam Kade

By scale if it is a mouse trap then it's a mouse or tiny (baby) rat.
If it is a rat trap it looks like a normal rat and definitely not a mouse

TITANIUM.

You caught a rat.

That rat is scruffy haired and talks gibberish, couldn't miss him.

Is it possible to get something that you don't need a licence for like a air gun or something that would kill a rat ? Or would they be to weak?

Gazzmonkey

I took it out to reset the trap

Should get a better look at it now

Sleeper12

Fat mouse of baby rat.

mobby

Well the bait is an end piece off a mars bar

jimini0

Its a fat mouse. Obviously you had not set the trap properly and it ate too much mars bar. eventually his big fat head triggered the trap.

You need a licence for an air gun. There's some very sophisticated air guns on the go now that are ideal for taking out a rat with the best of scopes and night vision capabilities.
But again you need a licence.

If its an elephant trap, must be an elephant.

BorneTobyWilde

It's a young rat
I'm not a mouse, not yet a rat, all I need it time, a moment that is mine , while I'm in between, i'm not a mouse.

Ye reckon;)
Love listening to all genres except Irish wing wang pseudo Country ****e.
I have been influenced by what my children listened too any parent would be. One of my favourite CD's is 4x4 = 12 which was a Christmas pressie from my Son's and would be amongst one of my Desert Island Discs.
Youngest is 21 next month and I was talking to the DJ (along with his best friend) about the choice of music for his party.
Any suggestions are welcome

In fairness mightn't be too far off topic. Could be an Australian mouse. Might explain its size.

Whatever it is it has become famous in death 😊

He is loving it and is going to apply for residency. At the moment he is doing his regional work a couple of hours from Perth working in a feed mill/cattle station and staying with my brother and sister in law. He was working on the buildings in Melbourne and when he is finishes his regional work (Perth) is heading to Brisbane.

I think I saw it move there - are you sure that it is actually dead?

Couldn't be an Australian mouse as he's not upside down.

Edit above, I got it wrong. Eldest is applying for a one year extension of his holiday visa.
Doubt he will get it as he was stopped a few weeks ago by a patrol car and he didn't have an Australian or up to date equivalent driving licence. Apparently in Aus you can drive on your Irish/European licence for 3 months ?? before re-registering.

That will have no bearing on immigration. If he's done his stint out on the farms and has the paperwork he's grand. I got banned for driving out there and still got on alright with immigration.

Definitely a rat.
