I have today discovered droppings in my feed store (green ketter box). First panic was that it was a rat. Luckily it turned out to be a mouse - we know this as when we moved store it was looking up at us from a very sweet nest! I had spilled some on the food and hadn't got around to tidying it up so my laziness is completly to blame We have moved it to a different part of the garden and cleaned it up so I am hoping that will be that for a while. Treating it as a warning against rats so a good thing it happened!
