Hello, I woke up today and was doing my daily routine which is check on Galavant, I noticed some of his poop is green while some is brown
It's still like a healthy size, dry and not soft or gooey, and doesnt have an odor

I don't know if it's because we got a different brand of hay (one that I didnt like but they were sold out of kaytee) or its something else, should I just keep an eye on it and if it starts getting gooey take him in?

(We would take him in now but with the virus were trying stay quarantined as much as we can)

I'd like to say I also made a mistake and forgot to fill his pellets (this never happened before) and I filled it sometime yesterday could that be the issue also?
 
If he ate more hay then normal then yes that can cause the poop to be greenish because of more hay in it. More hay can also make the poop slightly bigger too, because of the increase in fiber. Since there is not smell or consistency (wet or sticky change) that is probably all it is.
