Barnaby's poo has gone ever so slightly soft. Still has its shape, but it has a slight squidge to it. I'm not sure if it's always been like this or if I've only just noticed though? :-/ I've never tried squidging it before now lol

Should it be hard? Barlo's is hard a quite dry.

I've mostly taken him off veg for a past couple of days - just a couple of pieces or coriander and a couple of slices of pepper a day....but I'm just not sure if it's always been like this and I've never noticed :-/

Should it be hard like Barlo's?

Ideally, poos should be firm. If they are just slightly soft, then it means that your piggy has had a bit too much fresh food. Depending on how soft the poos are, just stop giving fresh food for a day or reduce the amount of veg a bit and things will hopefully right themselves again. See a vet if things develop into a diarrhea.
