I have a mini rex who has been producing poo's about the size of mini eggs for the past few weeks. There are some normal sized ones too I think, but a lot of big ones. What could cause this? She is on a hay only diet with only profibre pellets. The buns she is in with is producing lovely golden poops mostly and only a few dark ones (he gets a few veggie treats too), hers are dark and huge but she gets no veg!! She seems to have these regardless of her diet!
I should probably add that she is fine in herself, eating and drinking. Poo sample came back as normal and vet is stumped! Her tummy also rumbles very loudly.

hells bells! I bet they brought her eyes to the middle! Have you spread them out onto a sheet of plain paper and compared the 'make-up' of them to one of the smaller poops? If it's very similar, perhaps there's nothing to worry about. Also, do they smell ok, especially when spread out?

I have now disected a couple of poops! They are very moist and all egg shaped, they have some fibery bits as a normal poop and they smell a bit weird but not offensive particulary. She does pass stinky caecals and doesn't always eat them, they are also huge! You can smell them from other rooms downstairs when she does them!!!
 
When you started describing it, I immediately though "Cow poop syndrome", but seeing the pics...now I have no clue. Cow poops are usually extra dry, and these look like quite the opposite.
You got me =/
 
Find my thread about Ginger's poops. She gets exactly the same. It's the beginnings of very very mild dysbiosis, but nothing to worry about, it tends to sort itself in a few days. If its constant, take a look at her diet and work from there.
