I found this on my carpet. I'm wondering if it is some sort of dropping. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Is it tiny like a grain of rice? If so could be from a mouse.

Mud from the tread of a shoe/boot?

Mouse poo 🤢

It’s too blunt on one end to be poop.

Do you have pets?

I don't think it's small enough to be mouse poo

Does it smell ? I'm wondering if it's just some mud that's dropped out of the tread on a shoe - hence the odd shape

I can't smell anything but I haven't got a good sense of smell anyway

Definitely mouse droppings. If it was slightly more rounded it would be rat droppings.

Beetle or fly larvae

Dried up mince beef? I've had this debate with myself before
