Re: Rat or other creature?

2 inches across is too small for rat. Rats often leave spoil heaps outside their burrows, so that can be a way of telling. If it's vole (and it might well be), look carefully at the blades of grass round the burrow entrance, because they're sometimes nibbled at a slant or in a V shape.
