I've seen advice and comments on small and soft poops, but how about large poopies.
We've had Chippy since early November. She's on a pretty basic diet oftimothy, pellets (1/2 cup/day) and water. We occasionally give heroats, rasins, or small amounts of greens. I'm sure she never had anytreats or greens before we got her. Any deviation from the basic dietseems to give her soft poops so we kinda limit them to once a week.
When we first got her, her poops were large, coarse/dry, and green(like grass). They are now more consistantly dark in color and rangefrom soft to hard depending on what she has had to eat.
The thing is, they always have seemed to be quite large. Sometimes theyare so big they don't fall through the wire bottom of her cage. Shedosen't seem to have any difficulty or pain when she poops. She notvery big, I think she weighed in at about 4 pounds at the vet.
