What species of vole/mouse is he? I've researched, but can't identify him. Is his tail naturally that length? If so then he's a vole. He obviously loves his life with you!

@sourisblanche753 something must have docked his tail either at birth, shortly thereafter or by the fire ants that we saved him from at about a week/10 days old. As far as I know, he's either a commonn house mouse or field mouse...some of the comparisons aren't very clear, though I haven't spent a ton of time researching.

@@willochse4793 I think he's not a house mouse so must be a field mouse aka meadow vole/field vole & they may have shorter tails. His striking markings confused me, so I guess there must be some regional variations. You have a wealth of varieties in the US where we only have 6 or 7 in the UK (our field mice are almost identical to your deer mice). Apparently he should be good at climbing & swimming!

@sourisblanche753 good info! We are in Texas and I originally thought he was a deer mouse due to his size as a baby but once he really started growing, it became apparent that his proportions and size were much different. He's definitely a good climber, though I think a bit on the pudgy side. I'm really amazed at how he bonded to my wife and I due to saving him at such a young age and we really do our best to get him out and socializing at least a couple of times a day as well as changing up his enclosure with new objects and entertainment. They truly are much more intelligent than we give them credit for.

@@willochse4793 He landed up the good life with your family & knows it. Which is why he's so bonded with you now. No nerve racking wild conditions for him. Because of their instincts some animals want the wild life but others know better!
