I agree, it's an opossum. We had one coming nightly to eat the sunflower seeds in the platform feeder on our deck a couple summers ago. Before the opossum came, there would be sunflower seeds; after the opossum left, there would be these little uniformly shaped pellets in their place. It was a mystery to me, too, until I caught the opossum in the act! Kristi Mayo Kearney, MO (Clay Co.)
