Hi, I've noticed that my piggie Pippas poos have become small and light brown. She's also been sniffing around her cage mates bum for her poos. She did this before after being on antibiotics a while back before we knew to give her probiotcs whilst on them. She's acting normal in all other aspects. Was just wondering if anybody had any ideas as to why this has suddenly come on? We also have some probitoics left from when we have them to her whilst on her antiobiotics. Do you think we should give her some of that to help her along? Thanks
 
It sounds like shes lacking in the good poos that they eat straight from the bums so shes going after someone elses- iv experienced this before and probiotics sorted it out. However she may not be eating enough if the droppings are small, and light brown may mean they are dry from lack of fluids. Give her some extra cucumber for fluid and the probiotics and weigh her daily at the same time in the feeding cycle to make sure she is eating enough. If things dont resolve or she is losing weight then its best to have a vet check her over.
