@DonFletcher would it be unwise for us to keep it ,if it survives,after rehabilitating it? At the moment it's leg is broken and it has a good cut on its belly.

Hi @KIrvs, I cant identify such a young rodent. But in several decades, the only rodents recorded in Canberra suburbs have been introduced Black (Roof) Rats, (Rattus rattus) and the introduced House Mouse (Mus musculus), with also a few claims for the introduced Norway (Sewer or Brown) Rat (Rattus norvegicus). I am excluding the native Rakali from consideration because it does not occur in houses or gardens. Native Bush Rats (Rattus fuscipes) are hard to find now, even in Namadgi and I have never heard of one in or near Canberra and none have ever been trapped in surveys in the Canberra Reserves from 1976 to the present. Therefore I would bet my hat this would turn out to be a juvenile Black Rat.

The easiest way to tell Missulena and Atracidae apart is the eye arrangement. Missulena eyes will be spread across the caput region of the cephalothorax (top of the head area next to the chalicerae), while Atracid eyes will be tightly grouped together. Missulena have a more stocky appearance compared to Atracids and they have much more chonkier looking Chalicerae (the large appendage at the front of the head where the fangs attach to the body).
I'd be happy to help if you have any further questions
