Poop concerns, with picture

Friday, when cleaning out the buns I found a smooshed pile of poop. I was a bit concerned, but all other poops were normal. Today (sunday) I was sweeping up poops and putting them into their litter tray - Noahs toiletry habits are still getting there. Whilst doing this I found this poop;

All other poops are normal, they are eating normally, playing normally (let them out to play in my room today). Their poops are normally darker in colour so the colour is not a concern, it is the shape and the way it is formed.

Can anyone help?
 
ive seen them poops when Alvin hasnt eaten for 12 hours and once its out hes totally fine again.

does it smell bad? if it smells it could be a gut imbalance, Alvins last stasis bout came about a week after i found 3 (over a couple of days) uneaten very stinky special poops.

i guess the usual advice, up the fibre lower the treats and keep and eye for not eating. people also recommend fibreplex but i struggle with that stuff and just give avipro for a few days if im worried about the gut.

fresh brambles are excellent to keep everything ticking over :wave::wave:
 
They have both been eating normally. Poop isn't stinky but I have just found more. The past two days they have gotten more veggies than normal, could this be the case? I will cut out veggies and treats for the next 24 hours or so. I might book an appointment for the vets tomorrow. I really hope it isn't statis.
 
Even though he is eating, would it be beneficial to give him some Critical Care? It is high in fibre, so that is why I was wondering.
 
its probably just the upped veg, go back to what they was getting before and you probably wont find anymore :D:D

its good its not stinky, i wouldnt stress them if they are eating ok :wave::wave::wave:

Holly was leaving special poops that didnt smell and she was fine :D
