A critter in my backyard

The mandarin tree is getting more colorful everyday!  During a break today, I inspected the tree and found that a critter has been helping himself to my oranges.  The odd thing is that it is only getting oranges at the base of the tree, so I figured rather than a bird, it must be a four-legged critter...a rat, perhaps?  Whatever he/she is, they don't like the rind, and they seem to be eating every bit of the orange, peeling it with their little hands.  Who would make such a mess under my mandarin tree??



By the way, my house hit an all-time low this morning - 55 degrees inside!  Ya think it's time to turn on the heat?!  I certainly don't want any frost build-up in here!  At least I got a cool "energy efficient" space heater this weekend for my office. :)
