I am very sorry! The tops are not very firmly attached, so I move any cages always without the piggies and with the top off after nearly dropping it once (could wedge the cage between me and the wall). it is one of those life lessons that usually can't foresee...

Hopefully they haven't taken any damage with being on soft bedding!

See a vet promptly if you notice one of them limping or not moving right, in pain or looking unwell/off its food over the next day.

I would not worry if she is OK in herself today.

Piggies can eat differently in very hot weather when they are not feeling great (the same as us humans), and that will express itself in the poo colour - as long as the poos are the same size, then your piggies are likely to have eaten enough.

As long as the weight is stable, your piggies are alert and eating and drinking well, then you need not worry.

Their poo changes colours mainly on the food that they are eating, have you given them anything different recently? It can also point to bloating but that is a more serious and unlikely reason but if you are worried about it then you can always take them into the vets for a little check up

could be but is hard to tell. I would recommend checking with the vets though, is the poo size the same? My piggies poo has turned a lighter brown but there’s is still darker poo in there so I haven’t been to worried about them.
