He said it's exactly the same, about 6" long. Apparently they are reddish in summer and turn white in winter to camouflage into snow. I don't think I've ever even heard of them before but it's sooo cute!
He has cats so it's hiding and he'll have to try to trap it. There's open ground under the stairs in the wood cellar, and a small opening in the vertical part of the stairs. Maybe it went through there. One of our kittens ran straight to the hole and hid under the stairs when we first got the house. Other than that, I don't know.
I told him to keep it of course, but he said they have really sharp teeth and the cats would likely get to it even if it were caged. Poor little baby.
