@asergio i think you're right. maybe it's a vole :) they're quite common here ...

It's not a marmot, but i'm not sure if it's a rat either. I just know it's some kind of rodent:) If anybody find out what kind this one is, i would apreciate it, because there are many here where i live ...

I agree, it almost does not look like a rat. Can't see the tail; could it be a marmot? Rat ears are usually placed higher on the skull. This also looks like it's got a undercoat of fur.
