I Am Perplexed.

So, I've been annoying you all with my posts on their poops, but can anyone advise me?
Basically, there are poops in their cage which are pointy at one end, and also too small. But there are also loads of normal poops...I don't know who's doing them, but I want to know what to do...separate them, see who's pooping oddly and take them too the vet with a sample? Reintroduce the veg and keep a close eye? The vet didn't get a sample but said he seemed fine. I feel like such a bad owner!
There are very few of the teardrop poops, and they haven't had veggies for a day or two but will have a small salad each tomorrow. They also seem totally fine in themselves, toddling around, munching, drinking, and although Duncan has lost a tiny amount of weight, it seems to be just fluctuations.

How are you distinguishing normal from not normal? Only asking as Jemima's poops are about half the size of Peters (it how I know who has done a poop in the food bowl!). I think normality for things like that differs between pigs

Pointy poops are usually a sign of digestive issues. Get them out for floor time and watch them until one poops. You'll be able to determine who it is.

LadyKelly is right about poop size. One of my boys has poops that are way bigger than the other and both are perfectly fine

Well, it's not the size, it's the shape? Teardrop shape. But they've been off salad and the poops feel firmer, to me, and there are no teardrops in the cage, so fingers crossed!
And I think normal is just the bean shape, consistent in colour, or those more oval poops, less bean-shaped.
