The wholeness of the legs and tail are very well done, however if the pelt still has its bones in it (probably the feet and tail), it's important to fill them with silicone or some other product that will allow the fullness to stay. Over time the paws and tail will dry out and look quiet unrealistic and a bit grotesque in my opinion. Once it reaches that stage there isn't much that can be done. Also those skin-like body parts become quiet brittle. You got a great pose there as well, love how its lying down on its side. As a suggestion I think you should round out his back a little bit so its more fluent position. You got the form of the rat quiet nicely and that isn't something easy to do. Keep up the good work and you'll surely be on your way.
