Fresh Poos=Soft poos?

[MrWhistles]

I do not think these girls have diarrhea. But it was the only prefix pertaining to poo. While having lap time with Korra I noticed she has soft, sticky poos.
Now, I do know that the previous family was feeding these girls the crappy food. All colorful n what not. And I switched them cold turkey to the pellets. Their hay was also pretty low quality, and they again were switched cold turkey to KMS hay. I haven't been giving them the full extent of the veggies. Just a half of a large leaf lettuce each. Less than an inch of a carrot and 3 sticks of cliantro each.

Also, I think Korra is a veggie hog and maybe eating all of the veggies. I do not know if Lady has soft poos. I haven't really seen any poos mushed or crushed into the fleece. Tho I have seen some poo stuck to the fleece and remains on Korra's feet. I haven't seen any stuck to Lady's feet.


So after all this, I'm thinking Korra maybe eating all the veggies and thus causing her to have soft poo?
Or could the complete diet change cause the soft poo? However, if it was the complete diet change wouldn't Lady have soft poo as well?

When I got Nibbles yesterday, he too had soft poos, and had been eating veggies most of the day while the rescue held him in a temporary tub between transport. They are slowly getting firmer, and I am holding off giving him any for now. That, and he didn't poo for a long time until he settled in. I would withhold the veggies for a couple days to see if it is the culprit.

I've been thinking on doing that as well.

Withhold the veggies for a couple of days and see if the poops firm up. If they do, then add them back just a little a time. Maybe 1/4 cup for a couple of days, and if she does ok, then add another 1/4 cup, etc. But if you think she's a veggie hog, take one of them out of the cage to feed her so you can regulate what they eat.

I was thinking of doing just that.
Maybe start feeding veggies during floor time with each of them. It'll also be a great bonding idea to do with them.
