Hi there

Can anyone identify what kind of animal is leaving these? The coin is a £1 one so these are 8-9 mm in length.

Thanks

Martin

Looks like mice.

Bit big for mice I thought?

Bunnies? Although they are round and are usually left in a dumped pile. Bunny, then.

Aye. They don't look like rabbit droppings though.

I've got a wee trail camera. Will leave it out tonight in hope of solving the mystery!

Muntjac?

Have a look here https://www.mammal.org.uk/species-hub/full-species-hub/discover-mammals/species-muntjac-deer/#:~:text=Footprints%3A%20Muntjac%20have%20the%20smallest%20footprints%20of%20all,muntjac%20droppings%20are%20the%20smallest%20of%20all%20species.

scroll down to the photos of droppings.

Aren't they several times larger than mouse-droppings? Maybe rabbit-sized, but I'm not very convinced about the appearance. Struggling to find likely candidates. I'm not familiar with rat-droppings, but they look more 'pointy' than these in photos.

A poo trail camera might be more useful😊

Camera prepped and placed!

I agree. I don't think they look like rabbit droppings.
