Whose poo is this?

Found this in the garden this morning. Very near where the badger has its tea, but there was also a young fox wandering around last night. Doesn’t look like the usual fox droppings we get. The reading glasses are there for size indicator! Thanks.

    I would think hedgehog.

    I was hoping it might be hedgehog, but I’ve never seen them here in 18 years. We have two badger setts not far away, and the badgers visit every night.

    Id say hedgehog. It looks like the hedgehog poo we get here. 🦔

    We have a badger set just some yards from our garden but only once have we seen one actually in it.

    One of our local badger setts is in a neighbours garden, and in the winter, they can see steamy breath rising from the holes!
    very excited that we might have a hedgehog visiting. I will put a bowl of water out tonight, plus a little soaked, dried dog food. Annoyingly, our exterior cameras are off line at the moment, so I have no way to record any garden visitors.

    Hedgehogs in our garden love Whiskas Dry Kitten Food. I put out a cheaper alternative but they would've eat it! Also cooked Chicken 😂

    Have you seen anything on camera yet @Ergates ?
    Hedgehogs are still visiting the garden but not interested in the feeding station. The dog food is going to the magpies and seagulls the next morning.

    Black normally signifies fox.

    Hedgehog poo is black too.

    I get about 4 hedgehogs every night at my feeding station and that looks exactly like hedgehog poo, it varies in size depending on the size of the hedgehog 😁
