    Hi,
    We are in a middle end terrace and although we don't own any pets we have what looks like dog poo in our garden a couple of times a week. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. It is extremely frustrating as there is no way that I can see that a dog could get into the garden and neither neighbour has a dog. Have ruled out cats so looking for any other possible explanation.

    No external entrance to the back garden, or bins/food out the back, so a bit of a mystery, there are connecting gardens at the back with dog owners, but I hope that there is another explanation!:confused:. Has anyone seen any foxes etc, in their gardens that could be the culprit?

    Hedgehog poo is supposedly quite big. I haven't seen it in my garden but I have seen a hedgehog hanging around the main road that goes up Charlesland, who fights with my cat. He may be trouble!

    Had a few cat owners who happened to be in my house look as I thought that it was a cat at first too(theres always loads of them around our garden.) They all said that from their experience that it definately wasn't from a cat - Not having ever owned a cat I didn't know myself.

    Yep, foxes are about. Once they find food by jumping a few fences. They will always come back.

    can't believe a fox would be able to jump the fences, or would bother jumping over several of them (would put it quite a vulnerable position).

    Hedgehog, dogs, etc defintely wouldn't be able to get over the fence either - I'd be amazed if its not a cat, given that Charlesland is full of cats.

    yeah i'd say a fat arse'd cat. Probably fell into your garden with his fat ass, then skipped away after shedding a few grams.

    Poor old cynical Loya. Hedgehogs are excellent fence climbers, at home in suburbia and visit our garden regularly. Foxes ditto. When you read a report of a fox in Hackney biting a childs face in her bedroom, asume he did not have a front door key.
