Peachy77 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 .... every 3rd to 4th poo can be more runny/orange? Wondering if anyone else has noticed this. Or if could just be them settling in still. Debating whether to try some brokashi bran. If so, where is the cheapest place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 It is every 10th or so, and it comes from an area of the gut called the ceacum, which is involved in the processing of vegetable matter. Chip shop curry sauce is the closest description. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NClaire Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Mine seem to have stopped doing these - from being about 6 months old, most poos were the typical grey/white ones. But these are HUGE, especially the first one in the morning... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjules Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 For what it's worth, supposedly they do 70% of their poos at night. Mine save most of it up and do something that looks like it came out of a Labrador when they are first let out in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
