Hey
I have noticed that my piggies poops have been a bit softer than usual. It isn't diarrhea or anything like that. They enjoy carrot, broccoli, brussels and a bit of apple. Does anyone no what the reason could be for the poops being softer than usual? 98)
 
welcome to the forums from me and the girls from oz :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
think soft poops may be due to the apple unless they have been on medication lately? do they get hay and grass which is good for their tummies? also i give zoe a couple of pieces of bananna with the skin on. as zoe had surgery and has had problems with her tummy. try stop feeding them all fruit and veg for 5 days and just feed them hay and grass and if bowels are better add veg slowly. hoping all goes well, if concerned see a vet. sending hugs and cuddles to you and your fur babies :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: girls send :-* :-* :-* are there any other syptoms? like runny nose, discharge etc. hoping all goes well. :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
 
Yeah try stopping veg for a few days and make sure they have plenty of hay and water
If it gets worse or doesnt get better without veg then maybe take to the vet
Hoping all is fine O0
 
Hey, yeah i'm going to take your advice and remove fruit and veggies from their diet for a few days. Yes, they have plenty of hay and grass don't have any other syptoms and haven't been on any medication :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
 
are they getting a supply of hay all day? make sure they are, also dry mixture too. Maybe cut the fresh food out for a day or so, then just give them veg no fruit! but veg with little water content for a few days.
