Are these rabbit pellets???

There are piles of these all around my house!

They are much smaller than I would expect. The size of a BB. Maybe 5mm.

But sooo many!!

It looks like rabbit droppings, similar to what I find in my backyard. I don't usually see such a large pile though. It could be several rabbits. Each pile looks like a day's worth of rabbit droppings.

Usually the color is dark, but that depends on the forage/diet. I have seen lighter brown on occasion.

We see Eastern Cottontails in our yard, and we have found nests with babies (kits).

We also find bear, fox, raccoon and possibly coyote scat on occasion. Deer often leave piles in our yard. The deer scat is similar to that of rabbits, but perhaps more oval or ellipsoidal, although I have watched deer drop round pellets. I have to collect it so the dog doesn't eat it.

Do you have any muddy spots in your back yard that you can check for critter tracks? If not, you could clear a couple spots in what look like paths that the critters may be taking and add a little water to soften the dirt patch up...
