Well tonight i gave Popples a bath and he pooped in the tub and it was green, it was normal lastnight....i didn't change his food. and i'm not sure what he can be stress from. Help?

have you given him many mealworms lately? i've been givin molly extra worms as a treat given her sickness and all, and her poops had a greenish tinge....just a thought

Sometimes hedgie poops will just turn green for with no real explanation. If she is acting fine still- eating, drinking, wheeling, eyes/nose are clear etc- then I wouldnt worry about it too much. If the poops change consistancy, like are watery, or jelly like, then you may consider having a fecel float, or smear done to rule out infection.

But right now I wouldnt be too worried with it. Give it a day or two and see if it clears up on its own. It may just be hedgie indigestion :)

Ok Thanks he looks like he is doing good he is still eating and drinking and playing....I just wasn't sure i'm a all new to this!

I am always trying new treats out on Jake. Everytime he gets something new and yummy, he poops green. It clears up in a day. As long as it is just a color thing and not a consistency thing, I wouldn't worry.

I think that may be Popples way of telling you "I don't want a bath so I'll make my mom panic".

Reminds me of the time when my sister and I were having a bath together ( we were both young) and Lisa decided to pull a Popples (ie- take a poop in the tub). Definently made me panic! I dont think Ive ever jumped out of a bathtub so fast in my entire life!

[Jessicy]

lol, would it turn green that fast?

Yes, it can turn green overnight. Too many mealies will also cause green poop. :)

I gave my boys whipped sweet potatoes and I gave them a little more than I should thinking they wouldnt eat it all. Well Tico chowed down on the entire serving I gave him and the next day he had orangey poops. I attributed that to the sheer amount of sweet potatoes he ate. Of course he didnt eat his kibble after all this.
