Small rat/big mouse?

[golden mean]

How can I tell if a rodent in my garden is one or the other? (it is recently deceased, so I can get a good look at it)

Is it carrying any party political literature? pamphlets, pre-election manifestos, that kind of thing?

..promising pro rat-a increases in benefits, you mean?

Any use?

Spot on, thanks ClubMan.
(I'm just going out to count its nipples now. I may be some time.)

A full night, eh? Hope you still respect each other and will promise to call later in the week...
