Look out for hedgehog droppings on lawns, paths and playing fields<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

Hedgehog droppings can range from 1.5 to 5cm in length, and are dark brown, grey or black. Usually found as a singular dropping, the poo smells mildly unpleasant, described as having a hint of linseed oil. Droppings are cylindrical, sometimes tapered on one end. \u201cLook for shiny bits, which are often present \u2013 they\u2019re remnants of invertebrates, such as beetles,\u201d says Fay Vass from the British Hedgehog Preservation Society.<\/p>\n\n
