They're jet black, about 4" long and around as thick as my little-finger (1.5cm), straight and tapering to a point at one end. Not obvious remains of seeds or insects in them that I could make out. They only seem to appear overnight. I'm assuming it's a hedgehog, am I right? (Apologies for the mixed units) Tim. Yea probably hedgehog, they are black due to the number of beetles they eat, which in turn of course would have eaten slugs, slugs eggs, young snails I certainly hope so. Do you know if hedgehogs eat young toads - about 1" long? I have a couple of baby toads in the garden and I expect they might be in danger of being snapped-up too ? and I have to find the remains of a slug in hedgehog poo, or actually see a hedgehog eating slugs !!! Duncan I suppose it's something to do on a cold, damp night if you're REALLY bored. :-) Tim. |
