Can you give us a sense of scale, wildfirejc? How long and wide is it?
Cheers,

A sense of context would be good. Where was it found, what environment, etc? |

What was in it? Are those fruit stones I can see at the end? The shape's a bit long and thin for fox. |

It was found just under our garden table in the backyard.
Grass is longer there as it is partially shaded.
The length is about 7 cm to 8 cm and width is about 1.25 - 1.5 cm |

I'm thinking hedgehog. Was it full of beetle cases? |

Sorry - didn't look too closely....but heard from a neighbour 10 houses away that a hedgehog has been seen in her garden! So it will be exciting to know it could be visiting us as well. |

So to encourage a hedgehog, what food should I leave out for it? Any suggestions? |

I'm with vole-woman on that: it looks like a large hedgehog scat to me. With regards to food you can put out for visiting hogs, check out Hedgehoggy's post (number 11) on the following WAB thread: Hedgehog food and slugs
Don't forget to put a saucer of fresh water out along with the food.
Cheers,
Marc. | | | |
