Hi guys,
Today my boar pooped a super big and healthy poop, and then he pooped a very tiny one right after. It was about a half of a centimeter. Then, he did it again, one poop was super long and big, and the poop right after was tinier than I've ever seen before. I've never seen this happen before. Does anyone know what this is?
My pigs' poop is generally super good. There are always a few poops here and there that are shorter and thinner, but it's mostly good. There was a day when my pig(s)' poops were half in size and tapered at one end, but it went back to normal the next day. I think inconsistent poops may be related to the shortage of hay my piggies have when I come back from school, but I'm not sure.
I've also been noticing a fair amount of poops that are flat. They are a good and color, size, and length, it's just flat. I've read somewhere that not feeding cucumber could help, but I'm hesitant about that because one of my pigs doesn't drink water.
In summary, my 3 questions are:
-What is the cause for my pig pooping normal sized poops and then extremely tiny ones right after?
-Is there any way to prevent inconsistent poops with my pigs
-Why are my pigs' poop sometimes flat and how do I fix it?
Thanks
Update on my calcium deposits: I stopped feeding romaine lettuce like I was suggested, and I haven't seen any sludge or hard calcium deposits since
