The shape of the head looks correct. Found nothing in Mallis about shrews but there is a link. Is there development nearby that could have disturbed him. Sounds like they are usually illusive and do not breed fast like rats so that is a good thing. Hopefully just and occasional invader. I would reach out to a local extension agent for regulations and advice. You may be able to get a waiver from game commission if they become a problem and they are protected. JTV

Do not click links, open attachments or take action unless you know the contents are safe] Hi all, I’m sorry to be asking for so much identification help. We have had problems with shrews in the past and found a new one in a trap today. We have pygmy shrews here in South Dakota and I think this looks like those. Can anyone confirm? And can anyone point me in a direction to find more out about these shrews and the risks they pose to collections? Thanks!
