My three groups eat the same exact diet but their poops are different. Tiana, Olaf, and Elsa (all related) have small, somewhat dry hard poops. Rapunzel, Belle(sisters) and Kristoff have larger kind of moist poops. Anna and Jasmine have somewhere in between, but of course more of it since Jasmine is a skinny pig. Just an interesting observation I have made because you know it’s all about the poop! 💩
 
I've been wondering about poops too, Ollie often has quite big wet poops, that squish between his toes, and so does Piggle- but no other pig does! Both of them have had their butts thoroughly vet checked and there's no health problems. And they live seperately. And they eat exactly the same as their friends!

This is an excellent question from @HeatherRose. I also have an Ollie who's always done an enormous amount of large, squishy poops. Also had a vet check with no problems found (though Olls was in extremely poor condition - starved, scurvied, etc. - when he came to us). I've also wondered about two of my current pigs who do small, rounder poops (but also plenty of them) - again, no obvious health reason and exactly the same diet as Olls. We're all individuals, I guess!

After major battles with two post-op stasis pigs earlier this year, as long as the poop's coming through I'm not going to complain too much! :nod:
