Not a picture of mine, but I am really curious if someone can identify what this rodent is. Theres a Washington craigslist ad for a "cute female rat" free to a good home but I've never seen a rodent like this, it looks like something wild. They say "kangaroo rat or pack rat" but it doesn't really look like either of those to me.





I really really want to know what it is!

Did you get a buzzy bee to land on your finger.

I picked it up, it sat on my finger for a moment, and buzzed away

Found these fellas today in Astoria, OR


Roomate took the photos, idk why he couldnt focus this


These snails were really pretty with the pink and green streaks and when I walked out into the surf there were tons of them with their soft-bits spread out really flat and wide like they were using it to get dragged around by the water

Speaking of the southern Oregon coast is there a reason this rat:



Would be acting really strange in my backyard. Like it's paralyzed or something. My cats won't get near it and it won't run away. It let me just walk up and take that picture. A rat. Like the bad kind.

Small guys like that dont usually get rabies, but its not impossible, it might also just be sick with something else or has a head injury :shrug: it doesnt look like a domestic rat so its probably not someone's escaped pet. I know with pet rats having poofed out fur like that is usually a really bad sign.
