Photos of white mouse taken through open bedroom window and through living room patio doors. Normal mouse was 2 feet from me. They pick up the seed from the feeder that the birds drop.
Is it an escapee or an albino wild mouse?

Sorry, not the sharpest photos, om max telephoto and through glass.
Battery for OH SLR and telephoto lens is flat.
Aww don't know but looks cute!
Any pet shops near you ,they might know?
Or Steve the gardening vet?
No idea - it does look plump and rounder than wild mice, but that could be because of it's obviously luxurious diet. I suppose that only DNA testing could give a decisive answer.
I wonder if it'll 'pair up' with a wild one
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Oh fidget they are beautiful, they do look quite big? I love em
Have you named em yet?
It's so cute, the problem is that it's more likely to get caught as it's sticking out like a sore thumb
Well I thought that last week, as it shot off towards the compost heap. I thought an owl would have it or one of the cats that prowl around, but its pretty big, and we saw it first a week ago, so it seems to be doing quite well.
Mice round here are pretty fast. We call one speedy gonzales.
That's an albino because it's a wood mouse! Pet mice are longer in the body and the ears are different.
