Since losing Cash I've noticed the poo I'm cleaning out on daily spot cleans is all quite small about 1/1.5cms long whereas before there were lots pushing almost 2cm+.

Obviously it could just be that Tango only leaves small presents and I've never been able to tell since now but is there anything I should be worries about/looking out for?
He's eating hay and is still a greedy so and so with his veg but doesn't seem the nuggets are being touched that much at all compared to before when there'd be an empty bowl everyday. Again that could mean it was Cash eating all the nuggets before.

The cage is also so much cleaner and tidy now ...the things you learn when they're gone :(
 
Piggie poo, comes in all sizes. As long as it is plentyfull that is a good sign. I know this is going to sound odd, how do they come out not too dry at all? Is he drinking okay?
 
They're coming out the usual sort of dampness when fresh so not too dry or anything. He's never drunk much, seems to be about the same as before though.

It's probably just how he is and always has been but I'm naturally quite worried for him at the mo so thought best to check!
 
Dampness is good, shows he not dehydrated. Our piggies do different sized poo.
 
I would keep an eye on weight and so long as he is not loosing weight, its probably the way he is.

Ive had small poos in past as a result of a weight loss pig who wasnt eating enough but also I have pigs of all shapes and sizes and I have very different sizes poos in my cages from healthy ones!
 
Oh his weights going nowhere! He's a 1.4kg porky pig!

Good to know its nothing to worry about :)
