Quoted: Care to share the details of how you are caring for it. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Still alive, apparently. Waiting to see what it becomes. Care to share the details of how you are caring for it. Neighbor is caring for it. I assume a heat lamp and eye dropper is involved. |

Spawn of Indian rape lizard. Does it smell of curry and spooge?

I think the head/body shape and proportion of head size to body is too large for a baby rat...I too am going to guess baby Muskrat. I looked up some of the photos of baby muskrat on google photos and it looks like a really young muskrat. If it gets a little older it will develop that hunched up rear end posture.
ETA: I missed it's lack of webbed feet, so I now think it is something other than a baby muskrat...perhaps some type of weasel, Martin, or similar critter. Baby woodchuck is another guess, but I think the tail is a bit long for woodchuck. |

Its an anal dwelling fur ball that lasts longest in anus. OP works better at an older age. OP you 've hit the jackpot!

Its 100% not a possum, I've held them at that age.. Take it in and nurse it, release when its independent enough.
EDIT: to correct statement.. |

Quoted: A few inches long. Baby Fox? Squirrel? Possum? Kitteh? https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/285/49DDA5F3-F5A1-4146-A371-8157DAC435F3-2340107.jpg View Quote Not a squirrel or possum, I've raised both from babies and they don't look anything like that. Face is wrong for a shrew. Doesn't look like any rat species I've ever seen. I'd take it to a wildlife rescue/rehab. Gives it a chance at living and they could probably identify it. Does it have rodent teeth or regular teeth? |

Closest suggestion yet. |

I remember this thread but had no clue the critter was still alive. This could be good.

Quoted: UPDATE: The person taking care of it nursed it and cared for it for a month. It grew enough to be able to scurry around. It apparently escaped yesterday. It's a mouse. Like one of these https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/285/565D33FC-4ED7-432D-A28E-2D9F7AE06713-2379550.jpg View Quote Hahaha... Thanks |

I would not have guessed mouse, and I have seen many baby mice.

I think it is a juvenile Eastern Naked-Tailed Ground Squirrel. There are lots of them around Pittsburgh. I see them hanging around dumpsters at night.
