Best Answer

A quick drumming of both front feet is the very first reaction of a frightened white-footed mouse [Peromyscus leucopus]. The female and male reach a mature length of no more than 6 inches [15 centimeters], with the additional equivalent length in tail. The top part of that length is reddish-brown. But the fearful drumming calls attention to the mouse's white belly and feet.

This particular mouse prefers to live in abandoned bird nests or inside buildings. As part of housekeeping, the white-footed mouse likes to make sure of winter food supplies. Berries, nuts are seeds are favorites. But the white-footed mouse also meets protein requirements by eating garden and house insect pests.
