small poo

[schaefera]

So yesterday, I noticed these tiny poo's in my cage. Today they were still there, and so I separated my chins in order to figure out which one it is.

I have a male and a pregnant female, who is due within the next 2 weeks, both have been acting normal and I know for sure my female is eating a lot and drinking a lot. I'm suspecting it's my male and and watching closely on water intake and food intake. Is there anything else I should be doing?

I read that you can give a chin a small bit of plain yogurt to help but am not sure if that's true. Also how long should I wait for before I take him to a vet?

You need to go ahead and leave them separated if she's that close to delivery. Where did you get your animals?

No to the yogurt. You need to figure out which one is having the small poops first. Once you've figured out which it is...how are they acting? Are they lethargic?

It could be bloat which could lead to stasis. You've got to get that gut moving. Best bet would be to see a vet and have xrays done.

I agree to the above post. I would just like to add that they both should be given plenty of hay.
