I recently noticed some damage to our doormat. I was quite sure that the rapid wear and tear was not caused by the wiping of human feet.
Damaged Doormat
What could cause this damage? I thought perhaps birds were using the fibers for nesting material or maybe a squirrel?
I set up my automatic trailcam to catch the culprit. See the results of the investigation after the jump.
It turns out the culprit was a rabbit. If you look carefully, a snail can also be seen in the nighttime shots.

Big Rabbit….
Interesting, is he chewing on it?
There was a Bigfoot spotted in Spotsylvania County! Was that YOU, Mikey???? LOL,

But why did it turn black? Weird rabbit saliva?!
Heidi, very observant! The mat actually has a black rubber bottom.
Jon, yes, I believe gnawing action is occurring.
