    Agreed...rats are freaking massive. With that pic, I'll probably say maybe a large mouse taken way too soon.:rip

    Looking at the ears and long body I'd say a young rat - maybe 1-2 months old - the extra long tail confused me a bit though.

    What if a mouse goes outside does it become a rat? And if a rat comes inside does it become a mouse?

    Why the heck did you put it in a bucket of water?

    I say it looks like a mouse close up, but far away it looks like a rat.

    A rodent.

    Why would you kill this creature who pesters houses, and caused plagues back in the English days. Why I ask you, why?

    They go to get a drink but they're not smart enough to realize the bucket is deep, and end up drowning in the water.

    It's a rat.

    Whichever one's smarter. The smart ones don't drown themselves.

    Try this site, I think it's a sewer rat, not fully grown of course, but back in my old house they use to run rampant(so to speak). The body looks like it's a mouse, but the tail is way too long for it to not be a rat. Also have could you kill Remy? Makes me want to watch Ratatouille:

    Scary Movie FTW!

    Anywho, I have seen my fair share of field mice make their way into my house. That one seems rather large...so I would be inclined to say it isn't a mouse.

    It looks like a mouse, but it's size makes me think it's a baby rat. My neighbor has had a few rats, and this one kinda looks like when he first got them.

    It's a young rat. The tail is a dead give-away.

    The tail and face looks like a rat. And like Kickback said, it looks like a young rat.

    It's not a field mouse. Field mice are tiny and that thing is relatively big in comparison.
