This is a young meadow vole that we have been treating at NEWC for awhile now. He came to us malnourished and dehydrated, but is doing great now and should be ready for release soon. Meadow voles, sometimes also called field mice, can be found throughout the northern half of North America. They are active year round, and are commonly seen both at night and during the day, without a set activity period. They prefer wet, grassy areas for habitat, and will eat mostly grass, leaves, flowers, and fruits.
