  • I'd say hedgehog poo - we have several different hedgehogs visit our garden, and they can be identified by their poo (size, texture etc).  It does also vary with what they've been eating - soft cat food meat type produces a different poo to some of the cereal based dry cat foods.  Now we're using specialist semi-moist hedgehog food along with crushed peanuts, sunflower seeds, mealworms and a few banana chips the poos are different yet again. 

    Put some of the poos in the dry to dry out - if it's hedgehog poo when it's dry you'll see the glitter of the hard black beetle cases that form a large part of the hedgehog diet.

  • It's difficult to get a sense of the scale. Could have done with a 50p piece in the shot. Nevertheless, I'd say it was a somewhat chubby hedgehog after a vindaloo. How about sending it to Dr Gillian McKeith for a more thorough analysis?

    Hedgehog pointed end and if you enlarge the photo you will notice the Beatle casings staple diet of hedgehogs
