tiny poops

[channeltool]

I just adopted an 6 year old chin, male. His poops are very tiny. I spoke to the woman I got him from and she told me his poops were always very small. Is this normal? Should I take him to the vet. He has never been to a vet so I do not want to stress him out anymore than he has been these last few days, a new home and everything. He does seem to be adjusting more everyday.

Try giving him more hay. All the hay he can eat. What other food does he have. I have a female that has small poops but the more Hey I give the better they are. I have an old male that has little logs I don't know why they are so big.

I am giving Kleenmama's hay and Oxbow pellets. I give my chins a small piece of organic romaine everyday and a fingernail size piece of organic apple.

Could just be small poops. How small are we talking?

They are more like if you took the grain wheat berry and cut it in half.

I have had them with small poo before, like mice size poo. Those ones I just monitored weight and intake of food and let them be.
