Hi all i went to got check on my cavy and there was a light colored raindrop poo that was small what could have caused this and should i be worried?
 
Is she drinking enough water? Often this is a symptom of dehydration. Especially in the hot weather, wet their veggies or give them some cucumber until it cools down a bit

Hi!

It could be a mild tummy upset. If it is just one, but your girl is eating, drinking and behaving normally, and her weight is stable, then there is no reason for concern.
If there are more than just one funny poo, please take her off any fresh food for a day to allow the guts to rebalance. Make sure that she has enough cool, fresh water and switch from weighing once weekly to weighing once daily in order to monitor her food intake.
Never force water down an unwilling piggy; you can do more harm than good.

Did you have recently have hot weather in Canada? This can impact on what what piggies eat and how much fluid they take on.
