Are there any guides to help judge when changes in poohs are just reactions to diet or when it is more serious?
With my 2 new big boars, 1 appears to have quite soft poohs today and the other is quiet and doing very few tapered poohs only.
The soft poohs I am putting down to too much grazing - Sampson was like a lawn mower yesterday and today. So less time in run tomorrow and no veggies.
But the reduced number of poohs in the other one seems odd. Possibly eating less hay, grass etc as hiding rather than lawn mowing when in run?
Nothing major yet but not normal.
 
I wouldnt get worried about slightly softer or harde poohs sometimes. Providing they are formed and your piggies are eating well then dont worry about it. Some food stuffs may just make your piggies poo softer or harder, we all have different guts so dont worry unless its diarrhoea.
