This is about a shrew, one that should not be... or should it? Venomous saliva, super high metabolism, this is Blarina brevicauda, the Northern Short-Tailed Shrew.

My shrew is probably a masked shrew, although you need to look at their teeth to tell for sure and therefor cannot tell in a live animal. I rescued him in January from a cat and cannot reliece him until spring. I talk to a shrew expert and he really wants me to keep him as there are very few records of shrew behaviour and long levity as well as shrew photos and film. He also wants to identify him when he finally dies. I will only keep him as long as he appears happy, which so far he seems to be.

This shrew is showing all the classic signs of extreme unhappiness of a caged wild animal. I am glad you released him. I also have a pet shrew. I keep him in a four foot long terrarium with an excersize wheel, plenty of climbing and digging opportunities, tons of insects to hunt and catch and constantly introduce novelty into his life. As a result he shows no steriotypic behaviours like corner digging and pacing. He is a much better candidate for study as he shows only natural shrewy behaviours.

Well good for you and your shrew. It sounds like you spent a lot of time preparing it's environment. What species? I assume this means it is a permanent pet. Did you catch it in the wild or was it captive bred? I bet it sure wishes it could end its day away from it's evil primate overlords...

I study them and was fortunate enough to catch this little guy alive. I eventually returned him to his home.
