'Possum? Giant head...

rat or mouse. Too small to be a squirrel. That's a paper towel it's sitting on, right? That thing is tiny. I am pretty sure a squirrel the size of your thumb would still be pink and that little critter is getting hair on it.

Looks like a squirrel.


Red you got problems if they are in your attic! They can be very distructive and leave a stinky mess. Might wanna send DH up with a flashlight to take a look around, or go up with him if it is safe enough - please be very careful where you step if there is not a proper floor up there.


Calling in rehab is always a good idea.

Could it be a flying squirrel?

I am changing my vote to squirrel. Look at this link... http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.aaanimalcontrol.com/cutephotos/squirrel07d.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.aaanimalcontrol.com/cutesquirrels.html&h=1200&w=1600&sz=447&tbnid=OQqG9Qs8lh8j3M:&tbnh=88&tbnw=117&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dbaby%2Bsquirrel%2Bimage%26tbm%3Disch%26tbo%3Du&zoom=1&q=baby+squirrel+image&usg=__WV4KgbrS4yj0hIg46A4IS23yIas=&sa=X&ei=3ikKTsaFCYibtwf13Zhi&ved=0CFQQ9QEwEg

And then this one is a rat. http://www.flickr.com/photos/marycummins/3229080520/

See how big the back feet are on your little baby? I am pretty sure it's a squirrel

I agree with Horsey. Call rehab or take care of it yourself, entirely up to you. When I was very young, my family raised an entire litter of baby squirrels. They were fine until they got big enough to be destructive in the house. The possums we also raised we didn't get to keep very long. They wanted to "cling" to my mom all the time and she wasn't liking it.

Which would you prefer Red? Baby squirrels dropping in your lap or the three spiders I had in our house yesterday? They are so desperate for water they are marching in and straight to the dogs water bowl.
