Hi all,
We live in the countryside in North West England. A few months ago a mound of Earth appeared in our large rabbit enclosure. There is fox wire skirting out half a meter on all sides under the ground, and the mound appeared right in the middle, so whatever it was had dug up from below. The area is rife with moles, so we assumed it was that.
However, this morning we’ve gone in there and found an incredibly neat hole in the location the mound had been. It’s roughly the size of a golf ball and there’s no mound of earth this time. The wood you see in the picture is the wall of the rabbits dig box which has a floor.
Could anyone here help us identify what might have dug this so we know if we need to take action?
Thank you

Probably a rat
Ratty visiting.
It is usually a rat, but rat holes tend to be a bit messier. Too big for mice or voles though.
Maybe an OCD rat that tidies its holes more than usual. Definitely not a mole hole though.
Probably just a less messier than normal rat.
