Teenage Guinea Pig
How many times are guinea pigs meant to poop a day? I had him on my lap today and he pooped almost 20 times in like only 5 minutes(I'm not even exagerating!). Is this normal?

Entirely normal! Guinea pigs need to be eating, pooping machines! The more poop the better - it means they eating plenty and the body is working as it should.
You should take action if poops output reduces, or if poops get smaller, mushy or misshapen. This means there is a digestive issue going on such as reduced hay intake or a gut imbalance (ie too much veg and not enough fibre).

Plenty of poops is a great sign of good health and something to be happy about
