There`s a hole the size of a grapefruit in a mound of earth at the base of 2 trees in my garden! what do you think lives there. I too scared to look!

too small for a badger or fox, too big for a mole (and you usually only see the pile of earth, not the hole), possibly rabbit (if it's a big grapefruit) or rats (if it's a small grapefruit). watch it at dusk. if there's any bird food in the area or compost, it's probably rats. don't be scared - we don't have anything that terrifying in this country - it's more likely to be scared of you!

Sounds like it could be a mole. They make a hole with a little mound of earth at the top. Ususally the hole of 3 inches or so across & the little mound is about 2 or 3 inches high & spreads to a circle if about 5 inches across.

It sounds like a rabbit hole. Try and watch it early morning or late at night to see any activity.

Nothing to worry about. I take it you are bigger than a grapefruit, so why not leave it alone? If something comes out and attacks you, then act.

Could be a mole, rabbit, badger or fox... best bet is to watch it at nighttime and see what happens!

More than likely either moles or a harmless family of little rabbits.

Could be a mole, they leave little hills of earth, don't worry they are blind and it will never harm you.
