Hello there. I just got a new bale of meadow hay for Bandit two days ago. I buy it from the same fodder store, but obviously they're going to have different suppliers. This bale is much greener than any other I've had because I got it the day it was delivered, so I'm therefore assuming it was cut within the last week.
Since I've been giving Bandit the new hay he is just leaving cecal poop everywhere. The first night there were two squashed ones, and after work there was another. Now I've just woken up today and there were four, including two which somehow ended up stuck to the wall behind his cage, lol. He's still eating and pooping well otherwise, he's just either not eating his cecals or he's pooping way more of them than usual. Is it safe to assume that it's from the new hay that is probably richer because of how green it is?
Nothing else in his diet has changed, he gets 2 table spoons of oxbow adult pellets daily, fresh greens after I get home from work.
Do I need to be concerned about the excess production, or is it possible it will sort itself out as his gut gets used to the new hay?
