Poop... To big?

[Narcissus]

I understand small poop is bad, but is big poop bad? My one chinchilla has HUGE poop compared to the others. It isn't squishy, and she has always had big poop. So this isn't something new. But while cleaning cages last night It occurred to me that I should ask if that is anything I should worry about.

I don't think big poops are bad. I think it just means they've maybe been getting a little more fiber by eating more hay. As long as the chin is pooping normally and not straining to poop, I think all is well.

Is that a fat joke?

I have a father/son pair here who have HUGE poo compared to the other chins. They eat the same thing as everyone else and have been like this for the last 2 years (since I got them) so I figure HUGE poopies are just normal for them.

Thanks. I figured I was over reacting. But, better safe then sorry.
