Okay, I just looked up a picture of a vole - and it could very well be a vole based on looks. Either way, good guess Alden! I still hope it is a deer mouse. LOL

It might be a week or so until we know exactly what kind of mouse this is. I was hoping someone on here knew what kind of mouse it is. Usually when we get a rodent this small and young it has no fur, so we are stumped

A week?!?!?!? Alright, where here are some things that I just drummed up online...tricky tricky stuff!

http://themices.com/drawings-of-mice/

Here is a white footed mouse - which is a deer mouse...just the coloring I think. That site has some neat pictures of them at different ages too.

The one above is 1.5 weeks old. The one I think matches the picture you posted is Patrick on 10/15/2010.

I have to agree on deermouse. Purely because the first pic is so close to yours it isn't funny.

Just read this - it makes me wonder if the "voles" that I posted were really voles. Sounds like voles don't have white underbellies. BUT, there are a TON of pictures of voles on google with white bellies. I am so confused.

General Physical Characteristics
There are also differences among mice and voles. House mice are tawny to dark gray on the back, gradually changing down the sides to ashy gray on the abdomen. Their feet are shorter, broader and much darker than those of white-footed mice. Their tails are as long as their bodies but are shorter and less hairy than white-footed mice tails.

White-footed mice, the most common species, and deer mice have white feet and abdomens, large ears and eyes, and tails as long as their bodies. The color of the sides and back of these mice varies from dark gray to nearly black. They weigh 50% more than house mice and lack the mousy odor of house mice.

Meadow voles, commonly known as meadow mice, are stocky with small, but prominent, beady black eyes and almost concealed ears. Their short tails are about twice as long as their hind feet. Meadow voles are five to seven inches long at maturity and weigh twice as much as house mice. Their dense, shaggy fur is gray to brown with gray under-parts, sometimes mixed with yellow or buff.
Their close relative, pine voles or pine mice, have smaller bodies, shorter tails, sunken eyes and underground burrow homes. Pine voles feed on plant roots and crowns.
