Does anyone know a good website for identifying animal poo please? UK only; all of the sites that I've found today are full of coyote, skunk & elk poo & we don't get those in Kent... Have a photo on my phone but can't post it from there & my PC's still knackered :-(
Poo in question is spherical, the same size as a rabbit's or slightly bigger, but smooth, black & glossy. There are a dozen or so of them that've appeared outside the run over night.

Does it look like that? I just Googled 'Rat droppings pictures' and lots of nasties came up.
 
Sorry for the lack of reply- more internet access issues (thanks, Plu$net :cry: )
They're more spherical than rat droppings. The closest that I've seen on line are deer droppings, but I'd have thought that they'd be bigger?
Our droppings are around 6mm long x 5mm wide, looking back at the photo (with a ruler in it).
I'm wondering if they could be from a muntjac deer?

did you get a pic?
 
:Yes, that looks about right; right shape, size & texture. Will have to keep my eyes open for the culprit.
