Footprints ID help (1 Viewer)

Oops, managed to post without any text and can't seem to edit that. Taken in Suffolk a couple of nights ago. I think maybe stoat, but the only other thing I can think of is rat.
 
You don't indicate scale, but if you considered rat they are presumably pretty small. The 5 visible toes in some prints plus the heel-like impression behind the rear pad suggests squirrel to me
 
Thanks both for replying! TBH I made a bit of a hash of the original post, what with failing to provide a scale and uploading from my phone seemed to cause all sorts of fun. Anyway, squirrel entirely probable given there's a couple here, but I think there might be some other visitors too. To ID those, a trail-cam beckons...Thanks again!

If you do get results with a trailcam, do please share them on here!
