Hi all, I was wondering if my boys poops look ok? I don’t really know if they healthy or not and just thought I’d check. Thanks.

Hi!
Nothing major wrong. You may consider whether you have been feeding a bit too much fresh food.

Ok thanks, they get a plate of veg between them every evening.

Thank you! I’ve fed them a good amount today but the poos are still small? Would it help to stop veggies for a few days?
Have they been out on the grass? If mine have had grass time they can produce smaller poops unless we ration the veggies that day.
How hot has it been where you are? That can impact on the food intact - and you see it about a day later on in the poos.
If it is weather related, then it will self-regulate as soon as the weather has settled down again. make sure that you check for signs of heat impact if you live in the South of the UK.

No they haven’t been on the grass for a good few days. I only noticed this yesterday. We had a small heatwave since Saturday but it’s raining now. I’m just worried if I’m feeding them wrong or if they are sick and I don’t know. 
Whatever it is, it is very minor, so please take a deep breath!No they haven’t been on the grass for a good few days. I only noticed this yesterday. We had a small heatwave since Saturday but it’s raining now. I’m just worried if I’m feeding them wrong or if they are sick and I don’t know.
