I haven't had the boys very long, and I'm worried about their poo, to be honest. Most are normal, but they all seem softer than they should be, some have ridges/dents in the middle and some have a pointed end. Their behaviour is perfectly fine, eating, drinking (they drink less because their vegetables are usually so hydrating) but I'm just wondering- what's normal?
 
If you are unsure reduce their veggies and see if there is any improvement.

If the poos are soft, stop the veggies for a day and then gradually reintroduce one at a time to see if any one simply disagrees with them.

I am sure an expert will advise soon, as I am relatively new ish here myself.
 
I agree that they may just not be used to veggies. Give them a little and add new ones in gradually and see if it improves things.

You could also try giving them some probiotic e.g Pro-c from pets at home incase their guts are just a little out of wack.

All the best
