Squirral or Rat?
June 25, 2008 05:43PM
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 camera

Hi
Without 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.

It sounds too small for a newborn squirrel but it is impossible to identify it without a picture.
If you can find someone with a camera & email me a picture to caroline@vwr.org.uk I will try to identify it.
