Dennis's Teeny Balls

So since forever, Dennis has produced plentiful bum nuggets - only smaller in size. I would say half the size of Toby and Maples luxurious golden nuggets.

So two days ago I checked his poop - I see a huge pile of big-bada-boom golden nuggets. His previously have always been slighter darker brown, never gold. I always thought as he provides mountains of nuggets all day that maybe he just has a smaller poop shoot? But this has proven me wrong.

I am wondering why Dennis would have smaller poops for 8 years of his live and now be making big ones (he still is making big ones)

If he does have a smaller poop shoot aka gi tract should i be worried about big poos. When i say big poos i mean normal sized!

He's had his gut checked twice last month during health checks and everything felt/sounded ok.

Perhaps he’s eating more hay now? More dried forage than fresh? Has the hay type he is eating changed? I find it’s normal for poop colour and size to change according to the hay and forage eaten.

He's eating exactly the same as Maple, dried and fresh forage and Timothy hay. You don't think I should be worried?

its a miracle!

How weird. I wouldn't worry though, maybe he checked out Toby & Maples on their play dates & realised he had to up his game. Are they more golden now too?

Yes they are. I would describe them as shade "sun kissed"

Aboleth and Lopsy's poo changes all the time, it's just normal for them. Recently, they've started eating a heck of a lot more though so maybe Dennis feels the need to supplement his diet and hay's the only thing avaliable when he's extra peckish? I know that happens to mine :D

I must say I'm surprised not to see a photo of the sun-kissed boulders ... :D:wave:
