I found this little guy about a year and a half ago as a new born and ID'd it as a juvenile gray rat. The local was NE of Lake city Florida.
He spends alot of time in his hide and feeds very well, reaching just out of his hide to snatch an offering and vanishing back out of sight. I haven't taken a hard look at him in a while so when I did this evening I noticed a growth spurt and a slight pattern change. The blotches have developed rails or broken stripes that seem to suggest that I may have found my first gulf hammock rat and didn't know it. This isn't Levy county but it isn't that far away. I don't know, is it possible? What do you think?
