One weird poop

[gmsong]

So one of my guinea pigs pooped a single piece of poop that was shaped like a bullet (I read that this is bad). But she only pooped one of them and the rest are healthy shaped. Should I be worried?

I wouldn't be worried if it was just one. Do you have a picture of it?

Hi! One funny poo is no cause for worry.

Put your piggy on a daily weight check at the same time instead of the regular weekly weight and health check for the next few days. over 80% of the daily food intake is hay, which you cannot control by eye. Also check whether the water bottle spout is working as it should.
Weight - Monitoring and Management

See a vet within 24 hours if the shape of the poos suddenly changes persistently and/or your piggy is losing more than 50g.
See a vet ASAP if you are dealing with diarrhea (i.e. runny poos).
