Alex's pets

Yes, they've taken up residence in one of our window wells and Alex is quite smitten with them. He loves to pound on the window and watch them scurry around as they attempt to get out.

Sadly, they're demise is very imminent which I don't really mind. We're up to nine that have gotten trapped in our window wells and perished. These are the first live ones we've actually seen.

THOSE have got to be the cutest little rodents I've ever seen. What are they???

I'm guessing they're called field mice or voles. They certainly don't look like your typical house mouse. We've caught several more over the past couple of weeks.
