I've seen deer, bobcats & coyotes in our backyard, but I've never seen one of these. He is so cute with his tiny ears and invisible eyes. Is he a mole? He was chilling in our driveway the other morning.Robert scooped him up & placed him on the dirt of our front yard. He seemed happier there, sniffing around.
I feel bad for the poor thing. I worry he was sick. He just sat there, but didn't know if he was playing possum. We haven't seen him since. Hopefully he just dug a hole in the ground & went about his business...
If you know what he is, let me know! I'm curious.

Definitely not a mole. If I had to guess I would say some kind of guinea pig, but it's hard to tell how big it is from the pictures. Disclaimer: I have no expertise in rodent identification, however.
...it's a field mouse. Adorible little buggers.
He is adorable. A field mouse, mmassie says? But the snout seems so short...
definitely a field mouse, and a fat one to!
oooh! i love fat mice. i had one when I was a kid. his name was cookie. and i fed him cookies.
my old cat precious used to play with him, but she never hurt him.
