My Suitemates found a mouse and are now taking care of it. It's a little bigger than a quarter, but has fur and open eyes and inquisitive nature, so I'm reluctant to think it's too young. If anyone knows, please response. Note: there is a link to photos of it.

It looks like a baby field mouse. Scince his eyes are open and if he is not hurt I would find a grassy field to let him go in. He will not make a good pet due to his wild nature.

I think it's a common field mouse, and quite young by the looks of it. Although mice have a fur coat and open their eyes after about a week and half, they'll still be small and won't reach maturity for six to eight weeks.

I don't know where your friends got this mouse from, but big things come in little packages... big things such as decease and med bills. Did you know that mice can carry the rabies virus? some critters weren't meant to be pets... let it go, you don't need to kill him... just leave it where you found it. I don't want to sound like a party Popper, but you just need to be careful.

It is a common field mouse. Very,very cute. I suggest going to PetCo and purchasing a CritterTrail for it.

it is definitly a field mouse. In my old house, we would always find a dead one in our back yard. It looked exactly like that, except with claw marks in it. Probably from the neighbors cats. They eat grass, seeds, snails, and small insects like grasshoppers.

Luis is maybe my admired hispanic boy call. i like it, and that i'm constructive it might greater desirable healthy with a hispanic very final call. yet, Italian names generally sound good with hispanic very final names. Marco, Benito, Emilio (like Emilio Estevez, his call rolls great at the same time.)

do not attempt to rid this creature from ur premises. their called mouseyosesrex, a rare breed of the horse family. if they get wet they will expand into full sized arabian horses complete with leather saddles and riding whips. (the whips themselves can be sold for thousands).
either that or it's a field mouse, but i dunno, my humanoid instincts are going with the horse thing.
good luck.
