Obviously the earth throws it, but be careful with the feet registering on top of each other dogs will do this as well.

Hi Dogghound

The prints were in our garden and they were quite small, but not small enough for a mouse or rat lol...

The foot shape and pad positioning look wrong for a squirrel. The look mustelid like to me. Are you in the countryside? Is it an open garden?

We do live in the countryside and we do have a large garden. When you say "open garden?", we do have trees all around the garden and there is plenty of room for rabbits, foxes and the like to come in....I often leave leftovers out, especially lamb bones and the food always disappears.

Fantastic Dogghound. Many months ago I saw a stoat or weasel (I couldn't tell the difference) in the garden, perhaps he/she is still living in the garden. Fantastic yipeee!

Will pray the snow returns and I shall keep my eyes open for the little beauty, perhaps that's why I found rabbit fur at the bottom of the garden. I thought a BOP was responsible.

Thank you Dogghound.
