Poop

[Oreo&Levi]

Hi, Oreo is pooping "snowman" shapes poops lately and was wondering is this the cause of ingesting his own fur? He's a long haired piggy btw

Has he eaten any new veg or been on grass? Are they particularly soft? I’d suggest taking him off all veg and fresh grass for now. Do so until his poos are back to normal for 48 hours. I’ll tag @Piggies&buns as I’m not too sure on those poops.

No, I have been giving him the same veg since I got him. It's not soft though.. that's why I am not really sure about this. Couldn't really find any similar poop shapes like this online . So far he's doing fine

Perhaps best to get your piggy checked by a vet just in case.

Oh alright ): But if long haired piggies ingest their fur will their poop change shape too or it will slowly accumulate in their intestine and cause issues next time?

Guinea pigs don’t get hairballs, if that is what you mean. It gets broken down so won’t cause digestive issues
