Caught a couple of rats/mice? last night. Not sure if these mice or young rats?  What do you guys think?

Them there beastie's are definately RATS!

Mice have long thin tails which are furry and rats have thick tails that look scaley and have bristles!👍

Dead right.  Dead rats.  But do tie those traps down.  The others are quite likely to run off with them.  Waste not, want not and a dead rats is good food for a rat.

Certainly I find it hard to tell if they're small rats or mice 😕

I expected the rats to be bigger.

Rats always have tails like that thicker and scaley looking, even if they're young uns Iain. 👍

thanks Derek, they just seem so small 😕

They look like mice to me.  Can you put something next to them or the trap for scale?

As Crocodile Dundee would say - "That's not a rat. That's a rat"

Well,if that's a standard 18 inch slab , that would make the rodent about a third of that,6 inches including tail.

So about 3 inches minus tail.

I think we ought to bring Saint Bob Geldorf in for his opinion,as he even made a song about this.
