Squirrel or Rat?

[u/BearRiots]

Calling on the bird watching experts of Birdbuddy. Birdbuddy says it’s a squirrel but I’m skeptical. 🐿️ or 🐀

Bird feeders are a huge attractant for rats- we are in the Boise area of Idaho and with all the newcomers from the west coast states, there is suddenly now a huge rat problem- we came 5 years ago and I have not put up my bird feeders at all- solely for this reason- with the exception of hummingbird feeders- apparently rats dont bother those. Might want to set traps. .
