Oddly shaped poops?

[pinkpiggy1989]

I was cleaning the floor in front of the chinchilla cages, and I found several oddly shaped poops. I checked cages, but didn't see any in a cage telling me who they came from. They almost look like little snowmen without heads. I've found more than a few, but theres none in any of the cages to match it with. But it HAD to come from someone! Has anyone seen this before? Or know what it means?

They might be cecotropes, a type of poo that chins and rabbits eat that contain valuable nutrients.

they do look like they probably are cecotrophes, ive seen a few odd shaped ones before in my girls cage
