Not pooing during floor time?

I apologize in advance if this is silly a question as I'm afraid it might be - I'm just a bit paranoid after Moony passing away last week!

I had Seelix out for a bit of floor time tonight - a bit less than an hour, maybe. This was her first time out 'solo', and while she was definitely more noticeably cautious/nervous than in the past when she'd had floor time with Moony, she still got to running around, tossing her paper bag about, etc. I spread around a few little bunches of italian parsley which she gobbled up. All in all, everything seemed normal until I had put her away and was cleaning up and noticed she hadn't pooed at all! She'd peed in a few different places, but not a single poo to be found. She's been eating her hay/pellets/veggies like a champ, and drinking normally from what I can tell.

Should I be concerned? Or could she simply have been nervous or something? Any insights would be appreciated!
 
I wouldn't be concerned as long as she started pooping once back in the cage. My pigs are sometimes out for up to an hour and don't poop at all, other times they poop a ridiculous amount. My girls rarely poop when they are on my lap either.

Haha okay, I thought I was probably getting worried over nothing! :red
