Is this rat poo? 😣

[Cleo2628]

Heard some scurrying by the back door a few days ago. DH heard squeaking in the night and our new kitten was going wild. Now I’ve just found this by the back door …. 😭 bigger than mouse poo

I should add - smaller than cat poo!

I think rat poo has pointy ends I’m going for no … but no idea what it is! Quite a difference between mouse and cat poo sizes.

It looks the wrong shape and colour. Rat droppings are like mouse ones but bigger, and are black. Squirrels?

Remember other things squeak too - voles, shrews, etc.

Doesn't look like rats to me. Looks like squirrel

Doesn't look like rat to me (rat owner)

Agreed not rat. Used to have pet rats.

Just done some Googling and I suspect hedgehogs!

Hedgehogs is quite big and more single lump, often over an inch long

Do you get squirrels in your garden, they don't generally hide away, the ones here brazenly dig in the flowerpots making a mess, hiding their nuts, you would probably be aware if it was squirrels as you would probably see them

Doesn’t look like rat, hedgehog or squirrel poo tbh. What size is it - have you got a ruler or something to picture next to it for size comparison?

Ferret or polecat?

Could it be some kind of bird? Pheasant poo looks similar on Google.

Can't add anything but definitely not rat or hedgehog. Glis glis? Do a search with the photo on Google.

Not glis glis, I've looked it up 😂

Tbh the thing it looks most like is cat/kitten poo. How big is the kitten? If it was making a noise is it possible that it has an issue and that’s all it could squeeze out? Presumably it’s inside the house so options on what it is are limited.
