If it was on the ground I would assume bun nest. I'm not an expert on either critter though so hopefully someone else can chime in.

It had a long worm-like tail. If it was smaller I would have thought mouse, but the leading theories are squirrel or mole.

My previous experience in remote trash piles says pack rats, lol.

Looks kinda squirrelly but they don't nest on the ground as far as I know. Hands too small to be a mole. Might be another rodent. I asked my critter enthusiast girlfriend and she said a general geographic location might help identify.

El Dorado county in California, just north of Placerville, on a hill above the banks of the South fork of the American River.

Almost definitely a rat. I should've guessed having 3 lol, but I hadn't seen a baby until looking it up.
