Soft poop

[leahblack_x]

Hi there,
I’m new to the guinea pig thing, about a 4 days ago I noticed some of her poop was soft and I read it could be veg so I’ve taken her off veg and some of the poop is still soft
She’s eating her hay and pellets no bother and drinking
Looking for some help

If she is new and isn’t used to eating veg, then it must be introduced very slowly, one type and small bit at a time to begin with so her tummy can get used to it. The same goes for when warmer weather comes and piggies can start being out back out on grass - it needs to be done very gradually.
It can take a day or two for poops to normalise after being taken off veg, keep her off veg until things go back go normal, and then introduce a small amount at a time, starting with herbs such as coriander can help as it can be milder on the tummy. Take her to a vet if you are concerned.

As you say you are new to guinea pigs, I attach a link below which contains a collection of guides which are most useful to new owners. Do give them a read!

Does she live with another piggy? Guinea pigs are highly social herd animals and need to be kept in pairs.
