Sudden change in poo colour!

This morning Bertie was Prince of Golden Boulders; tonight his output is very dark. He did have a hay cake overnight and a couple of bowls or orchard grass hay (he has had this hay before, but had been on mainly Timothy for about a week. Should I be concerned by such a sudden change. Another factor to mention is that our weather has changed to warm and muggy after weeks of sunshine.
 
Could be warm weather chase does that I'd keep an eye on him. Has he been out on grass? As that can make them dark to
 
Mine have darker poops with orchard hay!

It is supposed to be really good for teeth but I do think the few days he was on other hay coincided with the Golden Boulders. Reassuring to know other buns have darker output on orchard grass. Thanks.
 
Mine never have golden poo, just medium to dark brown. Type and source of hay from nutrients in soil.
