I don't think it will be anything too exotic, I thought it might be a hedgehog or possibly a fox.  An owl is an interesting one, it doesn't seem to have any bone in it but it may have.

It's not unlike mink pooh.  Do you live anywhere near water?

HH poo is like a squeeze of toothpaste & is usually black & of course the size depends on the size of HH.
