A rat is a rodent and it is bigger than a mouse. However the largest rodent is a capybara and that is the size of a pig.
Gerbils are actually the cross between a mouse and a rat.
The rat and mouse are two completely different species, but are in the same family. Since the rat is bigger, its droppings will be larger than those from a mouse.
A rat has a longer and fatter tail. Also, rats are a lot bigger than mice.
To determine if you have a rat or a mouse in your house, look at the size and features of the animal. Rats are larger with longer tails and bigger ears compared to mice. Additionally, rats tend to leave larger droppings. Observing these characteristics can help you identify whether you have a rat or a mouse in your house.
they are bigger than a mouse and smaller than a rat and have a long (ish) furry tail
Not before the rat eats the mouse.
A mouse is smaller and live up to 3 years, but not as smelly as rats. A rat is bigger and lives up to 5 years, but smellier than mice. If you can't get used to a new smell, you shouldn't get neither.
No. Not at all, I don't think. Because rats are WAY bigger than mice (unless its like, a super small rat) and even then, the rat would probably kill the mouse. I don't recommend it.
Rat dung is like a bigger vrsion of mouse poo. It is like a big brown grain of rice. BUT DON'T EAT IT. Hope my answer helps!
a mouse
A Rat, it has the same mouse tail, basically same everything, but mice are smaller, and rats are bigger, and male rats tend to be bigger than female rats.
You should not keep a rat and a mouse on the same cage together, The rat will most likely kill the mouse as that is their natural instinct.
