In the first couple of weeks out being put outside the trunks are getting cained. 3/4 of the way round in some parts.

 

 

These droppings were found at the crime scene (right at the trunk)

Sheesh Tbr...... first sign of munching and everybody blames me, no innocent until proven guilty for us hoppers. I was home last night drinking black label, smoking cones and pulling out a motor, I swear it on me mothers exoskeleton. I also have a couple of mates be happy to give me an alibi .........after they awake from their comas. Hehe.

There are books on 'scats' or droppings that will give you your answer. They are also fun to see what sort of animal does what sort of poop.

Thats not hopper poop. Peace in poop. Gh72

Hi TBR,

Thats rodent shit by the looks, possibly mouse by its shape and size although its a bit difficult to see without a comparison for size.

Sitting here at the computer I have a window with a rollershutter about 4 inches from the window. The other night I'm sitting here and here is 3 mice on their back legs looking in through the window at me. Little bastards. So I swept their shit off, got some Talon wax blocks and placed them on the window sill. I use talon as they can become immune to ratsak but Talon gets them. Also the wax block doesn't spread everywhere like the pellets and they have a whole in them so you can fix them in one place.

Now I have shit about the same size as in the pic but blue like the wax blocks. We are having a bit of a plague at the moment so I just keep it well stocked.

Yeah, by the shape of those droppings I would say either a mouse or a rat.... I've kept mice in the past and had a mate who kept rats. As merl1n said, it's a bit hard to tell without some size comparison.

 

But yeah, my guess would be a mouse or rat type rodent. Lil sods!

I agree! Mouse shit.
