Have just newly arrived on an allotment. The ground has been well looked
after by the previous tenant and we dug it all over in the first week.

Now in the second weekm we have just found a dead rat buried quite shallowly
in the ground we dug the week before.

Is there the possibility that it was buried there by an animal? ( the
allotment borders on some natural ground that contains foxes) or is it more
likely by a neighbouring allotment tenant, some of whom we have not yet met.

We had exactly the same some years back, we arrived and found a dead rat
looking at us out of the ground, the rest of it was buried. I assumed a Fox.
Also had two perfect looking gammon steaks buried which I brought up with my
fork, bit of a shock, and a number of whole eggs, both chicken and duck

I found a chicken once buried on my allotment. Headless with feet only
visible above the soil. I pulled and up it came!

When you find the horse head you should worry.
