Whose poo is this?

Hello,

Sorry a little off topic but I found a poo that was black, about 5cm long, round one end and tapered at the other. It was very hard and didn’t smell (at arms length).

i had assumed cat but I had a closer look at one today and it looked like it was composed mostly of a lot of grass stems, like thin tubes.

Any ideas?

    Grass stems or bones?
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Or beetle and weevil bits and pieces?

    Sounds as if it might be a hedgehog leaving a calling card.

    My thoughts exactly Joyce ... but without a photo we can't be sure.  :/
