Rats?

That's a damn big rat! *Holes made by them are 2-3" in diameter and
typically continuous - this was definitely made by a surface dwelling
animal looking for food, rather than for nesting.

We had ferrets nesting in our compost heap one year. *Wear gloves!

For a ferret THAT size, I would need chainmail-reinforced gloves!
