Physical Description
The deer mouse is small in size, only 3 to 4 inches (8 to 10 cm) long, not counting the length of the tail. They have large beady eyes and large ears giving them good sight and hearing. Their soft fur can vary in color, from white to black, but all deer mice have a distinguishable white underside and white feet.
