Is this a rat poo?

Hi,

I've found some poo in the garage and garden (4 times in about the last 3 months) and I'm worried it may be rat poo. I've looked at images online and it looks a bit both rat and hedgehog poo, it's about 2.5cm long. 
Can anyone identify? (The wetness is from rain through a leaky roof)
Thanks
Dan

    It looks like a slug to me!!! Rat poo doesn't usually have a curve in it.

    Thanks. It does look like a bit like a slug but it definitely is not though!

    If you have hedgehogs around, could they have been eating a lot of sunflower hearts? That might make the poo that colour/texture.

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    They've consistently been that colour/texture every time. I live nearby wooded areas, I'm sure there are hedgehogs around
