Mushed poo

Hi! Griffis, one of my nearly 2 year old boars, loves sleeping in a hammock, and on some lazy days he poops just there instead of a hay tray. The poo I find is mushed into dust after a day. Is it that he trots on it, munches it or it is a diarrhea? I am guessing pictures aren't necessary ;)
 
As you say it is going into dust, then if it is how I am picturing, it will just be normal poop which is falling apart as it dries out and he sits on it.
Diarrhoea is runny and liquid. If he is laying in it, he will be covered in it, stuck in his fur etc. Full diarrhoea is also a serious medical issue requiring vet care

Thanks! I have never seen a piggy having diarrhea (hope not to ever see tbh). I put a pee pad into a hammock, thought it was possibly absorbing the liquid, but it wouldn't be so quick. Probably it is just a fidgety lazy piggy :)
