poo question

[piglet_and_rogers_mama]

i know it's bad when pigs have diahhrea (sp?), and my pigs don't have it, but it does seem like it might be a little "moist," (not to be gross, but it's kinda shiny, like there is moisture in it). should i be worried? its well formed and not mushy...but idk if i should adjust their diet. they have lots of timothy hay whenever they want it, and healthy pellets with tim. hay as a primary ingredient, and they get vegetables daily (but not excessive). any opinions?

Could it be they are peeing on the poop making it seem moist? That's what my boys do

when mine get a little moist i just cut either some or all of the veg for a day or two, just give hay and pellets, and mybe a bit of pro biotic.

thats my pigs poops not my poops!

it helps to sort the gut out when things arent quite right, I'm not very good at explaining things really, but you could google it?

I think it is normal for poops to be shining when they are fresh. The dry off which makes them dull.

My pigs poops are always shiny and a little waxy.

I've had that before when I've introduced new veggies to them as well but it usually calms down when they are more used to it
