Yesterday I was given a new-born rodent of some sort. I haven't been able to tell what it is. I'm thinking its a squirrel or a rat. any suggestions on how to identify it? He's about an inch and half, pointy tail, hes more purple then pink, it doesn't look like his nails are that sharp...i would post a picture but i can't find my camerahttps://www.vetclickforum.co.uk/read.php?8,9056,9056#msg-9056Thu, 11 Jun 2026 22:37:43 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://www.vetclickforum.co.uk/read.php?8,9056,10356#msg-10356 https://www.vetclickforum.co.uk/read.php?8,9056,10356#msg-10356If you can find someone with a camera & email me a picture to caroline@vwr.org.uk I will try to identify it.]]> Caroline Gould Wildlife Rescue and RehabilitationWed, 22 Oct 2008 09:35:12 +0000 https://www.vetclickforum.co.uk/read.php?8,9056,10355#msg-10355 https://www.vetclickforum.co.uk/read.php?8,9056,10355#msg-10355-------------------------------------------------------

sounds like a squirrel to me]]> hannah_vet Wildlife Rescue and RehabilitationWed, 22 Oct 2008 09:24:43 +0000 https://www.vetclickforum.co.uk/read.php?8,9056,9058#msg-9058 https://www.vetclickforum.co.uk/read.php?8,9056,9058#msg-9058Without seeing a picture it is impossible to say what it is but if it is as small as you say, it is certainly not a squirrel.
If you could send a picture to info@vwr.org.uk then I should be able to give you some idea of what it is.]]> Caroline Gould Wildlife Rescue and RehabilitationThu, 26 Jun 2008 06:02:58 +0000 https://www.vetclickforum.co.uk/read.php?8,9056,9056#msg-9056 https://www.vetclickforum.co.uk/read.php?8,9056,9056#msg-9056 Victoria Wildlife Rescue and RehabilitationWed, 25 Jun 2008 17:43:24 +0000
