So I'm curious...

Wiggley and Narco lived on fleece for a while before I got York, and there was never a squishy poop mess. Since I've added York, however, the mess is ridiculous. Wiggley's side of the cage stays clean, as he only poops in his hidey house (I had to separate him a while back). Narco and York's side of the cage, however, is always a gross mess. I vacuum it out twice a day (the most I can manage with my work schedule), but it's really almost impossible to vacuum because half the poop is mashed and ground up into a mushy mess in the fleece. They have a kitchen area, but they (unlike Wiggley) poop EVERYWHERE. It's York's poop that I have noticed is incredibly squishy. It's not diarrhea, as it does come out in pellet-form... it's just very soft and mushy so that when the boys walk over it, it squishes everywhere.... kind of like mud, I guess. It cakes onto the fleece in between vacuuming times.

This problem obviously has something to do with his diet (or so I assume). So I'm wondering if there are any veggies that can cause squishy poop that I should cut back on.

The boys' diet consists of:

-KM's Hay
-KM's timothy pellets
-Romaine/red/green lettuce (depending on what looks good at the store)
-Bell pepper
-Cilantro/Parsley (again, depending)
-Cucumber
-Broccoli (rarely)
-Grapes (one per pig occasionally)
-Orange slices (occasionally)
-Corn husks
-Corn silks (occasionally)
-Grape tomatoes
-Apple (rarely)
-Baby carrots (one per pig)

I think that's about it... any ideas as to what makes poop go *squish*?
