One of my boys has started to do smaller poops I noticed today (I'm pretty sure they used to be licorice torpedo shaped like my other boar's but I'm doubting myself now). They are still hard and not as short as my sows' poops. Is it something to worry about?

Both boys are intact, the one with the short poos is probably 3/4 years old

Hi! Switch from the usual weekly weigh-in to weighing daily at the same time in the feeding cycle whenever you are worried, but have not yet anything to lay a finger on. Shorter poos are not necessarily anything to worry about, but thinner poos generally indicate a diminished food intake. See a vet if there is indeed a weight loss trend over several days.
